== Just some ideas; need some feedback ==

There are two translations of ''Dragon Quest V'', and a mostly complete one for ''Dragon Quest VI''. So which names do we use for the spells?

'''Dragon Quest V'''
* Partial Translations/DeJap
* Byuu
* Original Kanji
* All three

'''Dragon Quest VI'''
* No Prgress
* Original Kanji
* Both

There are some spells which although they have the same name, they have different effects in different games (a good example being Blizzard - an enemy group spell in ''Dragon Warrior IV'' and ''Dragon Warrior III'' (GBC version), but an all enemies spell in ''Dragon Warrior VII'' and Partial Translations' version of ''Dragon Quest V'').

I think we should have a seperate list for the skills - those found in ''Dragon Quest V'', ''VI'', ''VII'', and ''VIII''. [[User:Zenithian|Zenithian]] 15:14, 18 December 2007 (EST)

I would say go with the translation patches that are most complete, because people would more likely have played them. Also, I'm wondering if the English translations used in the GB/C ports should have their own section?

I'm also curious as to whether or not you think it would be a good idea to have the Japanese spell names in English if they can be. For example, "Dibainsuperu" is supposed to be "Divine Spell" and "Meirusutoromu" is supposed to be "Maelstorm."
