The Shield sage シールドセージ is the defense class of a party. Not only does he have a Great Shield to protect himself with, he can also use it to knock enemies up into the air or charge at them which knocks them away from him. Shield Sages also have a magic rod they can use. Magic can be built up from blocking enemy attacks which can then be shot out as a ball of magic or give everyone near him an enchantment of the selected magic type.
