Abilities and Powers

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

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

Trivia

• Before encountering Hamsuke for the first time, Ainz Ooal Gown mistakenly thought her title as Wise King of the Forest meant that the creature must have been a sage.
• Although Fluder Paradyne has no levels in this class, the Baharuth Empire still regarded him as "the great sage."
• The knowledge of a sage cannot rival that of a dragon's accumulated wisdom.
• During a meeting with Ainz Ooal Gown, Jircniv Rune Farlord El-Nix considered consulting with dozens of his country's sages over what the proper course of action he should take when dealing with him.
• Although Death Knights are historically thought of as legendary undead creatures in the New World, they do not seem to be particularly well understood by sages.
