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. The original sages were depicted as ascetic monks wearing tattered clothing, where as the ninth game altered the profession's design to resemble scholars of high academia.
The '''Sage''' (賢者, ''Kenja'') is a recurring {{Vocation}} in the {{DQSeries}}. Proficient with both schools of magic, they are the most versatile casters in their respective games. The original sages were depicted as ascetic monks wearing tattered clothing, where as the ninth game altered the profession's design to resemble scholars of high academia.


==Characteristics==
==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 {{Magical Mending}} stats that allow them to alternate between crowd control and healing with ease.
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 {{Magical Mending}} stats that allow them to alternate between crowd control and healing with ease. The vocation has become strongly associated with the [[Bang]] and [[Zam]] family of spells in modern titles, underlining the versatility of the vocation by utilizing Light and Darkness in equal measure.


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 {{NPC}}s are also accomplished alchemists, having created the [[Sage's stone|eponymous stone]] that appears in several games.

In order to become a Sage, the {{Party 6}} 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 [[Template:DQIXQuest/115|Quest #115]]: Sages in the Pages. 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]]s 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 [[Mage]]s 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 9}}, allowing for more versatile {{Party 9}} combinations.

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.

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.
