Editing Sage

[[Image:DQIIISageClass.png|300px|right]]
The '''Sage''' is a recurring vocation in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Proficient with both weapons and magic, they are often the most powerful combatants in their respective games.

==Requirements==
Irrespective of the title is being played, the path of the Sage always entails steep prerequisites. 
===[[Dragon Quest III]]===
In order for a party member to become a Sage, that member must be level 20 and have the [[Book of Satori]] and take it to the [[Alltrades Abbey (Dragon Quest III)|Alltrades Abbey]]. There, they may become a Sage. The [[Gadabout]] is the only class that doesn't need the Book of Satori to become a Sage; instead, all they need is to reach level 20.

===[[Dragon Quest VI]]===
In order to become a Sage, the party member must first master the [[Mage]] and the [[Priest]] vocations.

===[[Dragon Quest VII]]===
In order to become a sage in ''Dragon Quest VII'', the party member must first master both the Priest and Mage classes. 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.

==[[Dragon Quest IX]]==
(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]], [[Bow]], [[Wand]], and [[Shield]] skills. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "Spelly Breath," which recharges a portion of their MP.

Sages are no longer the literal hybrid of [[Magi|mage]] 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 Multi-and-Moreheal. However, Sages can't deal the same level of damage Magi can, nor can they heal as effectively as a Priest.  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 combinations.
