View comparisonHow Sage relates to each House, by Realm.
Sage explores inquiry, reasoning and the patient development of understanding. Its theme is making a question clearer and checking what supports an answer. It does not certify expertise, intelligence or access to truth; a useful inquiry can also end in uncertainty. Mystic explores symbolic meaning; Sage asks for explicit reasoning and evidence. Order applies a process rather than investigates a question.
