	Sage is one of the classes introduced in ''Champions of the Spheres'' that, like everything else in that book, combines ''[[Spheres of Power]]'' and its sister system ''Spheres of Might''. While a half BAB d6 class, they are comparable to [[Warlock]] thanks to their "Chi Gong" ability that allows them to attack as a melee touch attack. Sages are often considered a walking warcrime due to the sheer power of their abilities when you start investing into their features. Each of their Estoteric training packages provides something terrifying: Chakra Disruptor butchers CMD, Enhancer beefs up the Sage or their ally's ability scores [[Awesome\|''as an untyped bonus'']], Infuser which forces Reflex saves to automatically disarm, grapple or trip foes, Ki Blasters for full anime and ranged DPR that makes archers wish they did half as much and Manipulator can force a manabond on an opponent. Sages are also considered ''High Casters'' when they obtain Magic Talents, and their esoteries are nearly all high powered.
