The Words of Wisdom allows any vocation to become a Sage at Alltrades Abbey. The treatise can only be used once, and is found in the Tower of Transcendence. The 16-bit remake adds another one in Rimuldar. In the NES version of the game belisha beakons have a 1/2048 chance of dropping the scroll, but this was removed in all other iterations of the game.
