Mage

The Mage is a starter vocation in Dragon's Dogma.

Description
Masters of elemental magicks, Mages rain down damage on their enemies while keeping their party alive with their restorative abilities.

Primary Weapon: Staff

Strengths and Role
Offensive Magick: Mages possess deadly magickal abilities allowing them to control the battle. From walls of fire to deadly storms, mages are truly a force to be reckoned with.

Healing: In addition to their offensive abilities, mages possess healing magicks, allowing them to tend to their party’s wounds and cure debilitations.

Enchanting: Mages can use their mastery of elemental magicks to enchant their companions’ weapons, allowing the party to exploit the weaknesses of enemies.

Weaknesses
The mage doesn't wear pants. In fact, he wears nothing. In RPG's, mages are often portrayed as high-damage, area of effect, artillery units. This means that they must stay back as they do not have the means of close-combat, or are very limited in that area.
