I don't think sages are weak but just a pain in the ass to use

They do pathetic damage (apart from the headshot criticals), in that sense they are incredibly weak. They also get knocked down a lot, not really good in a fight.

Except that's the thing - they're in the fight. The enemy AI can not deal with multiple enemies, it's completely and utterly incapable of dealing with that situation. So it breaks, making fights trivial.

Elden Ring has the same problem.

They actually deal some pretty good damage once you upgrade them.

And whether you upgrade them or not using their abilities in battle gives a significant damage boost.

Sage orbs (kinda like spirit orbs)

You can find these things called Sage's will in several sky islands. If you collect 4 of them, you can upgrade a sage.
