Base Class: Wizard
While most wizards spend their entire lives locked away studying a single school of magic, the Sage pursues a higher, universal truth. They realize that arcane force and divine grace are merely two sides of the exact same coin. Inspired by the legendary, ultimate vocations of the Dragon Quest universe, a Sage is a scholar who has successfully completed the rigorous training of both the Mage and the Priest, fusing them into one unstoppable arcane powerhouse.
To a Sage, a spellbook is not just a collection of wizardry, but a grand ledger of existence. Through this intense academic enlightenment, they learn to decipher holy texts and divine scrolls, allowing them to cast powerful healing and restoration magic using their raw Intelligence. They are the ultimate backline versatile casters, capable of wiping out entire enemy waves with catastrophic explosions, channeling unique dark-elemental forces like Zam, or instantly reversing the tides of war by weaving advanced restoration arts like Multiheal.
As a Sage reaches the pinnacle of their studies, they master the absolute laws of life and death. A master Sage can look upon a fallen ally and execute a flawless Kazing, snatching their soul back from the afterlife and restoring them to maximum vitality in the blink of an eye. If you want to play a highly intellectual spell-hacker who holds the power to completely shatter your foes or perfectly preserve your friends, the path of the Sage awaits.

Level 6: Secrets of Salvation
-
MultihealWhen you cast a wizard spell that restores hit points to a creature, you can expend a second spell slot of the same level or lower as a bonus action. If you do, choose a number of additional creatures within 30 feet equal to your Intelligence modifier. They regain hit points equal to half the amount healed by the initial spell.

- Echoing Spell: When you cast a wizard spell of 1st level or higher that deals damage or restores hit points, you can roll a d6. On a 5 or 6, the spell echoes, casting a secondary burst immediately without expending another spell slot.
- Moreheal: When you roll dice to restore hit points with a wizard spell, you can reroll any 1s or 2s.
- Usage: Once per long rest, or by expending a 4th-level spell slot or higher.

Additionally, you can ignore the material component cost for these spells once per long rest.

- A creature takes 2d10 Force damage for every combined spell slot level expended on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. (For example, expending one 5th-level slot and two 4th-level slots equals 13 total slot levels, dealing 26d10 damage).
