Sage ( job ) The Sage is a job class that has appeared in a number of games in the " Final Fantasy " series . The sage could be considered the ultimate Red Mage , being able to cast both Black and White Magic . However , the Sage is physically very weak with virtually no prowess with weapons . They also have low HP and speed and weak physical defenses as most mage - type classes do . Sometimes they have a lower MP total than a regular mage , but this is compensated by their ability to use any kind of magic from both schools unlike the regular Red Mage that has a limited pool .
