The '''Sage''' is a recurring vocation in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Proficient with both schools of magic, they are often the most powerful casters in their respective games.
The '''Sage''' (賢者, ''Kenja'') is a recurring vocation in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Proficient with both schools of magic, they are often the most powerful casters in their respective games.


==Requirements==
==Characteristics==
Irrespective of the title is being played, the path of the Sage always entails steep prerequisites.  
Sages are renowned for their mastery of 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.


===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===
Sages often appear as important NPCs 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.  
In order for a party member to become a Sage, that member must be level 20 and have the [[Book of Satori|Words of Wisdom]] 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 scroll 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. 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 VII]]''===
In order to become a sage in ''Dragon Quest VII'', the party member must first master both the Priest and Mage vocations as before. By also mastering the [[Luminary]], characters can become [[Druid]]s and gain even more magical skill.


==''Dragon Quest III''==
==''[[Dragon Quest III]]''==
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]], [[Kasap]], [[Holy Protection]], [[Storeyteller]] and [[Snoop]] are the only spells that elude their spell list.

The Sage is one of the advanced classes in the game, once again requiring the character to master both the Priest and Mage vocations first. Mastering the Sage vocation is also necessary to become a [[Druid]], along with [[Luminary]]. As the Sage advances in ranks, the MP cost of spells decreases.
In order to become a sage the party member must first master both the Priest and Mage vocations as before. By also mastering the [[Luminary]], characters can become [[Druid]]s and gain even more magical skill.

(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 [[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 Multi-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 group combinations.
