Kasnooze

From Dragon Quest Wiki

Kasnooze is a recurring spell in the Dragon Quest Series. Introduced in Dragon Quest IV, it only worked on one enemy; however in later games it attempts to put all enemies to sleep. In first four appearances, Kasnooze ignored the standard 100%, 75%, 25%, 0% accuracy ranges that other spells utilized, instead using a 100%, 100%, 50%, 0% table, essentially doubling the vulnerability monsters have to the sleep status.
