The Mage Vocation in Dragon’s Dogma 2 is dedicated to providing vital support to the group through healing, buffs, and elemental attacks. Anodyne stands out as a key healing spell, while buffs like Boon’s enhance party members’ weapons with elemental enchantments, enabling adaptation to enemy weaknesses.
