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.

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.

(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 {{Boomerangs}}, {{Bows}}, {{Wands}} 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.
