The Mage is a Humanoid class in Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. Mages are only proficient in the use of staves, which allows them to cast devastating spells. Aside from gender (the Mage is female, the Skull is male), the only gameplay difference between a Mage and a Skull is an Aptitude difference between Speed and Hit (the Mage has better speed). Be careful with the Mage, however. While being a heavy hitter with magic, she is often weak in defense, along with having very little HP to back her up. Players should keep this weakness in mind when facing enemy mages in the Item World.
