Mage

Mages (マージ) are units who use magic to attack. They primarily use anima magic, although in some cases they specialize in certain types of anima magic, such as fire, wind, or thunder.

Mages' stats have few consistencies, but they will almost always have a very high resistance in place of defense. This and their magical attack make it prudent to use them to block enemy magic users, and avoid direct combat with physical units. After promotion, Mages may use staves for healing and other utility abilities. If made level 20 before promoting, they will usually be able to kill most units with a fire or thunder tome.

The main promotion for Mage is Sage, but although this promotion line was established as early as Fire Emblem Gaiden, it did not become regular until Fūin no Tsurugi. In the original Ankoku Ryū to Hikari no Tsurugi and its sequel Monshō no Nazo, mages promote to Bishop. In Genealogy of the Holy War, they can promote to either Mage Fighter or Mage Knight, depending on either the character or the type of Mage. In Thracia 776 and The Sacred Stones, they can promote to either Mage Knight or Sage, depending on the character for the former and player choice for the latter.

Trivia

 * It is stated, in a support conversation between Erk and Pent in Rekka no Ken, that a Mage can die by using their magic too often. Mages can also transfer their magic power to another Mage, in order to help avoid this problem. It is also stated between a support conversation with Ewan and Saleh in The Sacred Stones, that, "Using too much magic can drain both body and soul."
 * Male mages wear a hood but female mages do not.
