The {{translation|'''Mage'''|魔法使い|Mahōtsukai|Magic User}} is a recurring vocation in the {{DQSeries}}. An iconic staple of medieval fantasy, the magi typically have high {{Wisdom}} and {{MP}} to facilitate their offensive spellcasting, but low {{Strength}}, {{Resilience}} and poor equipment choices that hamper their physical prowess and survivability.

As the premiere magical vocation, the Mage specializes in casting destructive and debilitating spells, but performs poorly at melee combat; though magi have high [[Wisdom]] and [[Magical might|Magical Might]], they are physically frail and cannot equip heavy weapons such as {{Sword}}s, {{Axe}}s, {{Spear}}s, or heavy armour.  

Magi focus on crowd control, with most spells targeting multiple enemies at once to harm or hinder through a variety of elemental, debilitating, and impeding spells such as [[Sizzle]], [[Deceleratle]] and [[Snooze]]. Offensive spells that do focus on one enemy usually keep pace with the physical attacks of melee characters until the late game, where it is better to buff such a character with [[Oomph]] instead. A Mage can also use the [[Evac]] spell to get the party out of a dungeon when things are dire, and can cast [[Zoom]] in most games as well.

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 [[List of knife skills in Dragon Quest IX|Knife]], [[List of wand skills in Dragon Quest IX|Wand]], [[List of whip skills in Dragon Quest IX|Whip]], and [[List of shield skills in Dragon Quest IX|Shield]] skills. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "0 Zone," which reduces their {{MP}} cost to zero for a few turns.

The Mage vocation is one of the basic vocations in the game and is the starting vocation of the fourth party member. They specialise in equipping purple-coloured Monster Hearts and their preferred weapons are [[Knife (weapon type)|Knives]], {{Wand}}s, and {{Whip}}s. Reaching Level 50 as a Mage is one of the requirements to become a [[Sage]] or an [[Armamentalist]].

 

Mage is one of the basic vocations in the game and the starting vocation of the second party member. They specialise in equipping purple-coloured Memories and their preferred weapons are {{Wand}}s and {{Whip}}s. When controlling the Mage, their passive ability "[[Sage's Breath]]" will periodically increase the [[Coup de Grâce]] gauge slightly. They also have the "Vim" party boon, which increses the party's Coup de Grâce gauge charge. Reaching Level 50 as a Mage is one of the requirements to become a [[Sage]].
