Mage

The Mage (Japanese: まほうつかい Mahō tsukai; Wizard) is a job in Miitopia. Along with the Warrior, Cleric, Thief, Pop Star, and Chef, it is one of the jobs available to the player at the beginning of the game. As such, it is one of the jobs that are playable in the Demo. The Mage is also one of the characters featured in Miitopia: Casting Call as a member of the party that also includes a Warrior, a Cleric, and a Cat, and is one of the two main characters in the "Camaraderie" trailer alongside the Cleric.

In official promotions for the Nintendo 3DS version, the female Mii representing the Mage is named Emma by Nintendo UK and Rin (りん) by Nintendo of Japan. Though Nintendo of America also used the "Emma" name, another name used for her is Quinn. In the announcement trailer for the Nintendo Switch version, the female Mii representing the Mage is named Jane by Nintendo of America and Yui (ゆい) by Nintendo of Japan. In "The Game About Playing With Roles" trailer, she is instead named Janette. In Nintendo of Japan's introduction video for the Nintendo Switch version, she is named Akane (あかね). A different female Mii used in other overview trailers is also named Emma  like in the Nintendo 3DS version. The Mage is the job that is used the most often to represent the Hero in the trailer and overview videos, with the announcement trailers for both the Nintendo 3DS and the Nintendo Switch versions of Miitopia primarily placing her in that role.

Gameplay
The Mage is a standard archetype for magic users, boasting high MP and Magic stats. Most of its skills focus on dealing high Magic damage, and they can dish out either single-target attacks or all-target attacks. It also comes with a few support skills such as Sleep Tight, which heals a teammate (albeit also inflicting the Sleep side effect on them), and Enlarge Weapon, which increases a teammate's basic attack by 1.5x. The Mage may also buff itself with Barrier, which halves the damage taken after using the skill. In the Nintendo Switch version, a Hero with the Mage job can use the Horse-Whispering Mage assist, which is a random-target magic attack that inflicts damage with 1.6x multiplier up to 8 hits (less if there is too insufficient number of targets).

Due to its low HP and Defense stats however, the Mage is vulnerable against strong physical attacks. The Mage is also not well-suited to dealing physical damage with its low Attack. Mages may also not do well against enemies that can resist Magic damage such as Fiends.

The Mage's weapon of choice is the Wand, which raises its Magic and Attack stats. The Mage's preferred clothing is the Robe which raises its Defense, though amiibo clothing is an option. Every Robe comes with a hat as headpiece.

Role in Miitopia: Casting Call
In Miitopia: Casting Call, the Mage is a member of the party along with a Warrior, a Cleric, and a Cat. By default, they wear the Apprentice Robe, but the player may change it to either the Crossed-Heart Robe, the Clown Robe, or the Polka-Dot Robe.

In "Chosen Ones", the Mage is introduced with the rest of the party as they battle the Dark Lord. Their face, along with the Cleric and Cat's faces, all get stolen by the Dark Lord during the battle however, leaving the Warrior to fight him alone.

In "Venture Forth", the Mage and the rest of the party head to Greenhorne Castle where they meet the King and Princess of Greenhorne. When the Princess's face got stolen, the party heads out on a journey to the Nightmare Tower and save her face from the General "Mii". Various happenings occur along the way, such as the Mage getting tripped up by the Cat, whose heart was dipped in darkness prior by an Imp. Later, when the party encountered the General, the Mage is seen listening to the Cleric's thoughts.

In "Camaraderie", the scenario showcased the start and development of the Mage and Cleric's close relationship through various moments they spent together. This bond got tested however when the Mage witnessed the Warrior giving a present to the Cleric. Seeing the two made the Mage imagine a scenario where they get mocked by the two teammates for tripping on their feet, and that caused the Mage to get jealous and resent the Cleric. The Mage's sudden shift in attitude made the Cleric get mad towards them as well, to the point that they both create trouble. Despite all this, the Mage lamented about their quarrel, wondering if it would always be like this for them. Distracted by this line of thought, the Mage was about to be attacked by a Kind Golem, but was saved by the Cleric, who took the blow for them. The now teary-eyed Mage then avenged the Cleric's sacrifice by finishing off the enemy for them. At the end of the trailer, the Mage asked if the Cleric had anything to get off their chest, but the Cleric insisted that they will only tell the Mage once their journey is over.

Trivia

 * The Mage and the Cleric are the only jobs to have unique animations for Get Serious and Slack Off.
 * In the StatusWizard.csv contained within the game's job.sarc file, it is shown that the Mage has stats programmed for levels past the game's maximum 50, up to 99. At level 99 without any stat bonuses, the Mage would have 559 HP, 425 MP, 90 Attack, 154 Defense, 564 Magic, and 198 Speed. It is the only job with this distinction.
 * The Mii representing the Mage in promotional material for the Nintendo 3DS version is also the default Mii assigned to the Scholarly Pioneer in the Nintendo Switch version, albeit with a different skin tone, hair color, and eye color.
