Sage
Sage is a second class of the Mage line, the scholarly counterpart to the Wizard. Where Wizards focus on raw nuking, Sages are versatile battle-scholars: they endow weapons with elements (Flame Launcher, Frost Weapon, Lightning Loader, Seismic Weapon), deploy elemental ground fields (Volcano, Deluge, Violent Gale), manipulate magic with Magic Rod, Spell Breaker and Dispell, and auto-cast spells in melee with Auto Spell. On Vortex Legends the Sage was reworked with new tools such as Magic Crasher, Spell Enchanting, Maximize Magic and Polymorph. Sages advance into the Professor after rebirth.
