Overview
Mages are spellcasters, who rely on magic to dispatch enemies quickly. They command the forces of nature to their disposal dealing elemental attribute damage, hence they can take advantage of the weaknesses of targets to deal more damage.
Mages primarily use Rods/Staves that enhance their magic output further, they can also use daggers in times of need. Mage spells are mostly offensive and bear an elemental attribute. So a Mage must know of the elemental weaknesses (or at least not use the element they are resistant to) of their targets to dispose of them quickly, else they would be doing subpar damage. Mages have the lowest HP pool among the classes, and can only use light armor, so their physical defense and HP would usually be one of the lowest, but they can make up for it with their defense spell Energy Coat in expense of consuming more SP.
Mages heavily rely on the INT stat to raise magic attack and partially reduce cast time, DEX will be the secondary stat to invest in which primarily reduces cast time and raises magic attack by a small amount. LUK will also raise magic attack by a small amount but bears a bit more weight than DEX.
A Mage can specialize in harnessing the elemental forces even further as a Wizard, or learn support/defense/magic counter spells as a Sage
