The Mage class is available at the start of the game and has the unique skillset "Spellcraft". Mages can also use skill points to learn [[List of knife skills in Dragon Quest IX|Knife]], [[List of wand skills in Dragon Quest IX|Wand]], [[List of whip skills in Dragon Quest IX|Whip]], and [[List of shield skills in Dragon Quest IX|Shield]] skills. Their [[Coup-de-Grace]] is "0 Zone," which reduces their {{MP}} cost to zero for a few turns.

Compared to a [[Sage]], Magi have fewer options in battle. However, this is made up for in sheer {{Magical Might}}, with the Magus' proficiency far surpassing the [[Sage]]'s even before stat-boosting equipment is taken into consideration. This makes them excellent at crowd control and inflicting incredible damage to bosses.
