The '''Mage''' (魔法使い, ''Mahōtsukai'', lit. 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.

====Usefulness====
{|cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="1" style="text-align:center"
The Mage's spells are useful after the events at {{Alltrades Abbey 7}}, but when combined with the mastered [[Priest]] class, the character can become a [[Sage]] and learn much more devastating spells and a [[Druid]] afterwards

==={{DQ7R}}===
|valign="top" style="background:#4682B4"|'''<font color="#ffffff">Target</font>'''
Mage is a basic vocation oriented to dealing magical damage. It has access to a great pool of damaging like [[Frizzle]], [[Boom]] or [[Kafrizz]], and debuffing spells like [[Snooze]], [[Kasap]], or [[Blunt]].
|valign="top" style="background:#4682B4"|'''<font color="#ffffff">Info</font>'''
 
|valign="top" style="background:#4682B4"|'''<font color="#ffffff">MP</font>'''
Unlocking Mage alongside [[Priest]] unlocks the [[Sage]] vocation, while doing so alongside [[Warrior]] unlocks the [[Armamentalist]] vocation.

====Usefulness====
The Mage's spells are useful after the events at {{Alltrades Abbey 7}}, but when combined with the mastered [[Priest]] class, the character can become a [[Sage]] and learn much more devastating spells and a [[Druid]] 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.

Compared to a [[Sage]], Magi have fewer options in battle. However, this is made up for in sheer {{Magical Might}}, with the Magus' proficiency far surpassing the [[Sage]]'s even before stat-boosting equipment is taken into consideration. This makes them excellent at crowd control and inflicting incredible damage to bosses.

The Mage {{Vocation}} is available to players at the onset of an adventure, and gives access to [[Knives]], {{Wand}}s, and {{Whip}}s.
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]].

==={{DQSG}}===
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]].
