The Sage vocation is late in the game after completing Quest 118. 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.
(The Sage vocation is late in the game after completing Quest 115 (http://dragon-quest.org/wiki/List_of_quests_in_Dragon_Quest_IX:_101-150),[. 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 essentially a hybrid class of [[Mage]]s and [[Priest]]s, having access to both powerful offensive spells and useful healing spells. This allows Sages to go on the offensive during monster battles and fall back into healing during boss fights. However, Sages can't deal the same level of damage Mages can, and can't 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 another damage dealer or spellcaster to step in.
