sage (dq3)
A character class in Dragon Quest III. The Sage has the combined magical abilities of the Priest and Mage, and is the only class that cannot be used at the start of the game. The only way to get a Sage is to change one of the other classes into one at the Alltrades Abbey found partway through the game. Most classes need Words of Enlightment to become a Sage, but the otherwise useless Gadabout can become a Sage without one.
The female Sage wears a short white dress and a blue cape, while the male wears a sleeveless blue robe. Both versions carry a wooden staff and wear a circlet, and have long blue hair. However, in the HD-2D remake of III, players can now customize the appearance of characters like the Sage.
