The Scholar of the Occult
Forgotten knowledge; unnatural sorcery; no boundaries of tradition are a deterrent to this scholar. In their pursuit for deeper truths, they discovered ways to magically expand the influence of their own Arcane mastery and to dig into the inner realms of their enemies, draining their enhancements and mana, and redirecting it into their allies.
The Sage represents the pinnacle of arcane scholarship, wielding magic not just as a weapon but as a tool for manipulation and support. Through Soul Link, they share their considerable magical bonuses with allies, turning the entire party into enhanced spellcasters. Their Draining Pulse and Soul Siphon abilities drain enemy resources while Spell Breaker shuts down enemy mages entirely. For offense, Arcane Barrage and Arcane Lance provide versatile neutral damage options.
Unlock
Sage is a tier 3 class that is unlocked by leveling the Sorcerer class to level 40. As all T3 classes, it retains all of the previous T2 and T1 classes' skills.
Pros and Cons
Comparisons are made considering classes from the same tier
Sages excel as magical support specialists who enhance allies while crippling enemy casters. Soul Link shares bonuses from Arcane Intellect, Clairvoyance, and stolen MP with linked allies, making them invaluable in magic-heavy parties. Spell Breaker can completely shut down enemy spellcasters, absorbing their MP for the team.
Their offensive options are respectable: Arcane Barrage fires 5 missiles at multiple targets, while Arcane Lance concentrates all power into a single devastating strike with high critical potential.

- Exceptional party support through Soul Link

Stats
Sages balance INT for M.Atk with WIS for MP regeneration and DEX for S.Atk to land debuffs.
INT powers spell damage and is enhanced by Arcane Intellect. WIS provides MP sustain and M.Def. DEX ensures Draining Pulse, Soul Siphon, and Spell Breaker land consistently.
AGI offers some speed for more actions. VIT provides modest survivability.

Ideas and Suggestions
These are all suggestions, you can't have 1 script which is perfect for every hunt, gear or playstyle
- Prioritize Soul Link on your party's primary damage dealers, especially other mages
- Clairvoyance provides significant evasion - keep it active on linked allies
- Use Spell Breaker proactively on channeling enemies to interrupt their spells and steal MP
- Draining Pulse stacks reduce enemy Eva and SPD - build stacks before consuming them
- Arcane Barrage is better for multiple targets, Arcane Lance for single-target burst
- Equip Tomes or Manuals to benefit from Grimoire Comprehension
