--Description in {{Dragon Quest VII}}.</center>

The '''Mage''' (魔法使い, ''Mahōtsukai'', lit. Magic User) is a recurring vocation in the {{DQSeries}}. An iconic staple of medieval fantasy, the magi typically have high {{Wisdom}} and {{MP}} to facilitate their offensive spellcasting, but low {{Strength}}, {{Resilience}} and poor equipment choices that hamper their physical prowess and survivability.

As the premiere magical vocation, the Mage specializes in casting destructive and debilitating spells, but performs poorly at melee combat; though magi have high [[Wisdom]], they are physically frail and cannot equip heavy weapons such as {{Sword}}s, {{Axe}}s, {{Spear}}s, or heavy armour.

 

Magi focus on crowd control, with most spells targeting multiple enemies at once. Offensive spells that do focus on one enemy usually keep pace with the physical attacks of melee characters until the late game, where it is better to buff such a character with [[Oomph]] instead. A Mage can also use the [[Evac]] spell to get the party out of a dungeon when things are dire, and can cast [[Zoom]] in most games as well.

The Mage's spells are useful after the events at {{Alltrades Abbey 7}}, but when combined with the mastered [[Priest]] class, the character can become a [[Sage]] and learn much more devastating spells and a [[Druid]] afterwards.

The Mage class is available at the start of the game and has the unique skillset "Spellcraft". Mages can also use skill points to learn {{Knife}}, {{Wand}}, {{Whip}}, and [[Shield]] skills. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "0 Zone," which reduces their {{MP}} cost to zero for a few turns.

Compared to a [[Sage]], Magi have fewer options in battle. However, this is made up for in sheer {{Magical Might}}, with the Magus' proficiency far surpassing the [[Sage]]'s even before stat-boosting equipment is taken into consideration. This makes them excellent at crowd control and inflicting incredible damage to bosses.
