The Sage is the usual promotion of the Mage class in several Fire Emblem titles, and also the promotion of Shamans and Bards in Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu and Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, as well as an optional promotion of Monks and the Priests in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones.

[edit] Combat
In most Fire Emblem games sages can wield Staves in addition to Anima Magic, though in Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, Sages also gained the ability to wield Light Magic upon promotion. It is interesting to note that in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, mages had the choice of either knives or staves upon promotion, with all Pre-Promoted sages having chosen the former. This marks the second occurrence of a magic-wielding class gaining a non-magical weapon upon promotion (the first being the Mage Knight of FE4, using swords), though the latter option is ostensibly more useful, in that it adds healing powers that draw upon the unit's magical power, whereas the former are not especially useful in the hands of sages, who will most often have low strength growths. Although it does offer a chance for a mage to attack units with high resistance with something other than magic.
[edit] Variations
In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, the Sage class is split into five different classes. Fire, Wind, and Thunder sages are able to use all three forms of anima magic, though their promoted forms are only able to acquire a ranking of SS in mastery with their preferred form of magic. Additionally, the Light Sage, a class exclusive to protagonist Micaiah, wields Light Magic and Staves. Meanwhile the Dark Sage Pelleas wields both Dark and Thunder magic.

[edit] Trivia
- In Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken, the morphs Sonia and Limstella, while formally classed as sages, have higher stat caps with respect to defense and resistance, both of which can reach a maximum of 30, compared with the usual 21 and 25, respectively, acquired by Nino, the only playable female sage acquired in the course of the game.
