As a class, the Mage specializes in casting destructive and debilitating spells, but performs poorly at melee combat. They can also use certain field spells to help the party in its adventures. The caster is given powerful magical abilities when leveled fully, including [[Puff!]] and [[Kaboom]]. The Mage can also caste the [[Hocus Pocus]] spell introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest II]]'', which has a large menu of possible random effects: some very good, some very bad. Though Magi have high [[Wisdom]], they are physically frail and cannot equip heavy weapons such as swords, axes, spears, or heavy armor. | As a class, the Mage specializes in casting destructive and debilitating spells, but performs poorly at melee combat.

The Mage's spells are useful after the events in [[Dharma]] but when combined with the mastered [[Cleric]] class, the character can become a [[Sage]] and learn much more devastating spells and a [[Summoner]] afterwards. | The Mage's spells are useful after the events in [[Dharma]] but when combined with the mastered [[Cleric]] class, the character can become a [[Sage]] and learn much more devastating spells and a [[Summoner]] 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. | The mage class is available at the start of the game and has the unique skillset "Spellcraft".
