'''Sage''' is the 2nd alternate job for the Magician class. Sages have spent years studying the intrinsic and constituent character of magic and how it interacts with its environment. Instead of using the destructive capabilities of magic, they have utilized everything they have studied about its true nature by disrupting its belligerent side and bringing out its calmer psyche into the fold. Thus, Sages have gained the reputation on being known with the role of anti-Mages or as anti-Casters. | '''Sage''' (''<small>also known as</small>'' Battle Mage or Anti-Mage) is the 2nd alternate job for the Magician class.

Most of their skills are used to disrupt spells of the opposing enemies, create a defensive layer on the ground that will prevent any kinds of AoE ground magical skills to deal damage unto you and your party members, and remove buffs on the enemies and debuffs on your allies that would otherwise negatively impact the run of the party if left untouched; but with a Sage on a party you can turn the tables and switch the tide of battle to you and your party's favor. While Sages shine brighter in their defensive capabilities and almost all of their skills can only realistically be used in a '''Player vs'''. '''Player''' ('''PvP''') scenario, they are lacking in the offensive department which makes them solely rely on their Mage offensive skills to farm and level-up effectively. | Most of their skills are used to disrupt spells of the opposing enemies, create a defensive layer on the ground that will prevent any kinds of AoE ground magical skills to deal damage unto you and your party members, and remove buffs on the enemies and debuffs on your allies that would otherwise negatively impact the run of the party if left untouched; but with a Sage on a party you can turn the tables and switch the tide of battle to you and your party's favor.

* This skill gives out a flat amount of +50 (scales with level) of your AP to your allies. This isn't a %-% interaction, and you won't gain anything back as this is a one-way exchange of AP. | * This skill gives out a flat amount of +50 (scales with level) of your AP to your allies.

* Regardless of level, per cast of Increasing Activity will always consume 50 AP. This means that if you use Levels 1-4 of this skill you will still continue to consume 50 AP even though for these levels it will only share 10/20/30/40 AP, consecutively. That's why it is recommendable to get Level 5 as much as you can. | * Regardless of level, per cast of Increasing Activity will always consume 50 AP.

* When focused on supporting, you can replenish back 5 AP by constantly casting any of your ground AoE skills such as '''{{#skill:5372}}''', '''{{#skill:5369}}''', '''{{#skill:5370}}''', '''{{#skill:5373}}''', and '''{{#skill:5371}}'''. EMs never ran out of AP so don't be too stingy to share AP when you have this skill. | * When focused on supporting, you can replenish back 5 AP by constantly casting any of your ground AoE skills such as '''{{#skill:5372}}''', '''{{#skill:5369}}''', '''{{#skill:5370}}''', '''{{#skill:5373}}''', and '''{{#skill:5371}}'''.

** If you've gotten this far I know what you're probably thinking. Does that mean we could use both {{#icon:540079}}{{#linkitem:540079|Dimensions Elemental Magic Book}} & {{#icon:540080}}{{#linkitem:540080|Dimensions Elemental Spell Book}} to autocast '''https://static.divine-pride.net/images/skill/5380.png <span style="background:linear-gradient(to right, #FF3F34 0%, #2C6FBB 25%, #268F15 50%, #B5651D 75%, #800080 100%); -webkit-background-clip:text !important; -webkit-text-fill-color:transparent;">Elemental Buster</span>''' every half a second? The answer is a big Yes! You can freely switch between books and cast DS and TD alternately. Though you may need to be fast on your fingers as this requires a bit of micromanaging so good luck~ | ** If you've gotten this far I know what you're probably thinking.
