Best Job Synergies and Pairings

Sage

Sage	Available Weapon(s)	Shield?
	Mace	Can use shields
Basic Info	The Sage is a master of spellcasting. They can cast Magic Sigil, to toggle between white and black magic. Casting a white or black magic spell will earn you an emblem of the corresponding color. The more emblems you have, the quicker you will cast spells.

The Sage is the best choice to compliment the Tyrant's passive MP recovery skills, allowing to make full use of its magic casting abilities. While a basic Mage or any of the Advanced Mages may also be viable candidates, we recommend the Sage as enemies will be tougher across mid- to endgame.
