<center>''A magic-user who fights with spells, and is able to master a wealth of attack magic.''
--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.

==Characteristics==
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.

===Usefulness===
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.

=={{DQ9}}==
[[File:DQIX Mage Male.png‎|right|border|195px]][[File:DQIX Mage Female.png‎|right|border|200px]]
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.

<center>''A master of attack and recovery magic who is also able to call on the power of the spirits.'' --Description from {{Dragon Quest VII}} </center>

The '''Sage''' (賢者, ''Kenja'') is a recurring {{Vocation}} in the {{DQSeries}}. Proficient with both schools of magic, they are often the most powerful casters in their respective games.

==Characteristics==
Sages are renowned for their mastery of the magical arts, with those in older titles having the ability to cast nearly every spell and those of later titles having the largest {{MP}} pool by far. As of the ninth game sages have more restricted spell lists than before, but compensate for this by having equally high magical might and mending stats that allow them to alternate between crowd control and healing with ease.

Sages often appear as important {{NPC}}s in several titles, being characters the protagonists turn to for advice or posthumous characters that leave behind artifacts that are important to a game's plotline. Sage NPCs are also accomplished alchemists, having created the [[Sage's stone|eponymous stone]] that appears in several games.

=={{DQ3}}==
In order for a party member to become a sage, they must be level 20 and have the [[Words of Wisdom]] in their possession. The [[Gadabout]] is the only class that doesn't need the scroll to become a sage; instead, all they need is to reach level 20.

[[Zap]], [[Kazap]], [[Omniheal]], [[Kaclang]], [[Holy Protection]], [[Storeyteller]] and [[Snoop]] are the only spells that elude their spell list.

In order to become a Sage, the party member must first master the [[Mage]] and the [[Priest]] vocations. As a Sage, that particular party member's spells will cost less MP to cast as their rank increases, eventually casting for only 50% of the original cost.

The Sage vocation is late in the game after completing Quest 115. Sages have the unique skillset "Enlightenment", and can also use skill points to learn {{Boomerang}}s, {{Bow}}s, {{Wand}}s and [[Shield]]s skills. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "Spelly Breath," which recharges a portion of their MP.

Sages are no longer the literal hybrid of [[Mage|Magi]] and [[Priest]]s, but nevertheless have access to incredible magical capabilities. They can reinforce the party with Kabuff and Magic Barrier, decimate foes with darkness and explosions, and keep their allies alive with Multiheal and Moreheal. However, Sages can't deal the same level of damage Magi can, nor can they heal as effectively as a Priest without carefully selected equipment. Thus, parties seeking powerful multi-target damage should stick with a Mage, and those wanting powerful healing spells should stick with a Priest. On the other hand, combining the elements of a Mage and a Priest can free up a slot in the party, allowing for more versatile party combinations.

=={{DQ10}}==
Sages have been present in the MMO since the game's initial version, and are unlocked for the player upon completing a quest as in ''IX''. They serve the same role as in the ninth game, providing balanced offensive and defensive sorcery but not reaching the heights or variety of the specialized mage and priest vocations.

==''[[Theatrhythm Dragon Quest]]''==
Any character is able to change their vocation at the Dharma Temple to a Sage if they possess the Words of Wisdom. They are able to equip wands and boomerangs.

=={{DQWalk}}==
[[File:Walk sages.jpg|right|thumb|Sages are they appear in ''Walk''|200px]]
Sages were added to the game in the January 2020 update. A character must have first reached level 50 in the Mage and Priest vocations to unlock the Sage, and the weapon choices are {{Boomerang}}s, {{Staves}}, and {{Whip}}s. As a reference to their original appearance in ''III'', a Gadabout is able to become a Sage, as well, by reaching level 55. Their special trait is that their spells will occasionally echo, casting twice in a row. However, the second spell will have its Magical Might or Magical Mending halved.
{{Clear}}

==Notable Sages==
*[[Princess of Moonbrooke]]'s vocation is listed as Mage, but she can learn both offensive and restorative magic.
*Advanced class in ''Dragon Quest III'', the first in the series.
*[[Jacqueline|High Priestess Jacqueline]] uses both offensive and healing magic as a temporary party member.
*[[Rab]]'s abilities are modeled after the sages from ''IX'' and ''X'', as well as a [[Martial Artist]].
*[[Serenica]] is a master of magic and one of the original [[Erdwin|Luminary]]'s companions.

==Trivia==
*In the {{3DS}} remake of ''VII'', {{Maribel}}'s sage outfit is modeled after [[High Priestess Jacqueline]].
