Sage

Sage is the generic term used to refer to those possessing vast knowledge in the Overlord series. Besides being a job class name for some, individuals not belonging to the class can still be classified as one to some degree by having knowledge on different areas pertaining to them.

Background
Sage is classified as a magic-oriented job class for magic casters to have levels in.

According to Maruyama's tweet on March 15, 2018, Sage is said to be a production, buffing-type class.

Abilities and Powers
Sages tend to have some degree of influence over their own nation politically with wide array of ideas and practices they suggest on the forefront.

For instance, according to Enri Emmot, the Faucet of Spring Water was supposedly designed and thought of by the sage of an unknown country yet to be named.

In YGGDRASIL, Sages are able to use what was known as lore skills.
