From publisher blurb: Deeply introverted and intelligent, the sage has a strong and healthy respect for the power she wields. Often found on impassable mountaintops, in deserted forests, or deep within abandoned ruins, she values the refinement of understanding above all else. After years of meditation and quiet contemplation, some sages find it freeing to use their powers more actively, shaping the world to suit their own ideals. The few sages that choose to venture out into danger do so to further their own comprehension of the universe, or set in motion some larger and more sophisticated goal.
