'''Drain Magic''' is a recurring spell in the {{DQSeries}}. It absorbs MP from the target.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
Drain Magic leeches 5~11 MP from a single enemy, and is learned by Magi and Sages at level 15.

[[Mimic]]s, [[Pandora's Box]]es, and [[Voodoogooder]]s use this spell against the party.

==={{DQ4}}===
Drain Magic is learned by [[Borya]] at level 25 and by [[Maya]] at level 16. It functions exactly as it did in the previous game in the NES version, but follows the ''(Lvl/4)+5'' algorithm set by later games in all remakes and subsequent ports.

The enemies [[Bloody blade]], [[Mimic]], [[Pandora's Box]], and [[Voodoo gooroo]] can use this spell against the party.

==={{DQ5}}===
Absorbs 5~11 MP in all versions, and is learned by the following characters:
{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="1"
!style="background:#77479B; color: white;"|Name
!style="background:#77479B; color: white;"|Level
|-
|[[King cureslime/recruit|King cureslime]]||--
|-
|[[Slime knight/recruit|Slime knight]]||--
|-
|[[Prestidigitator/recruit|Prestidigitator]]||15
|-
|[[Dracky (Recruit)|Dracky]]||20
|-
|[[Dwight]]||25
|-
|[[Sancho]]||25
|-
|[[Man o' war/recruit|Man o' war]]||40
|}

[[Cannibox]] and [[Mimic]] use it as enemies.

==={{DQ6}}===
Drain Magic is learned by [[Ashlynn]] at level 14, and by [[Goowain]] at level 3. Other characters can learn it by advancing to rank 6 of the [[Mage]] vocation. The algorithm changes considerably this time around, and the amount drained from an enemy is calculated as ''(Lvl/4)+5''.

The enemies [[Disgustling]], [[Cannibox]], and [[Mimic]] use this spell against the party.

==={{DQ7}}===
Drain Magic is learned at rank 1 of the [[Sage]] vocation, rank 4 of the [[Champion]], and rank 1 of the [[Druid]].
The spell has been nerfed in the remake, using the formula of drained MP = 5~11 instead of DQ 6's formula.

It can be cast by the enemies [[Putric Stinkenheimer]], [[Pandora's box]], and [[Grimoire]].

==={{DQ8}}===
Drain Magic is learned by [[Angelo]] once he invests 12 points into his Staff skill. The formula is ''(Lvl/4)+5'' once again.
* In the Nintendo 3DS version, [[Red]] learns Drain Magic at level 40.

==={{DQ9}}===
Though not available to player characters, it is used by a number of spell-casting enemies. Each enemy also has a specific amount drained, with no random aspect as seen in previous games.
*[[Master of Nu'un]]: 6MP
*[[Shivery shrubbery]]: 7MP
*[[Bloody manguini]]: 8MP
*[[Slugly betsy]]: 20MP
*[[Tyrannosaurus Wrecks]]: 20MP
*[[Pandora's box]]: 25MP

==={{DQ10}}===
{{Stub}}

==={{DQ11}}===
{{Veronica 11}} and [[Rab]] will learn Drain Magic at levels 24 and 28 respectively. The spell's formula this time is now dependent on Magical Might instead of level, with a stat range of 111~900 and drain range of 2. What this means is that a character with less than 111 Magical Might will drain 3~7 MP per use, and a character with 900 will drain 32~36 MP. The spell costs 0 MP to cast.

==={{DQM}}===
Known as '''RobMagic''' in this game, this spell can be learned by a variety of monsters. It requires the monster to reach at least level 7, with at least 32 max MP, and 28 INT. It grows into [[TakeMagic]] when the monster reaches level 13 with at least 58 MP and 52 intelligence. It is naturally learned by the [[BeanMan]], [[Dracky]], [[GoHopper]], [[Oniono]], [[SabreMan]] and [[WeedBug]], among others.

==={{DQM2}}===
RobMagic now requires 51 magic to learn and 94 intelligence to upgrade. It is naturally learned by the [[Aquadon]] and [[GhosTree]].

==={{DQMJ}}===
Drain Magic can be learned from various skill trees.

* [[Mage Aid]] (4 points)
* [[Nightmare (skill) | Nightmare]] (4 points)
* [[Rhapthorne (skill) | Rhapthorne]] (4 points)
* [[Seal]] (11 points)
* [[Über Charmer]] (25 points)

==={{DQMJ2}}===
Drain Magic can no longer be learned from [[Seal]]. It can now be learned from [[Stormsgate Citadel (skill)|Stormsgate Citadel]] for 10 points.

==={{DQH2}}===
Drain Magic can be cast by [[Lazarel]] and [[Teresa]] if they are wielding a [[Heavy Wand (weapon type)|heavy wand]]. It draws a magic circle in front of the caster that steals MP of any monsters that enter it. By holding down the button, the range of the spell can be changed with the analog stick. In this game, monsters do not have a set amount of MP so it can be drained indefinitely as much as desired.

The amount of MP drained is 3 at basic proficiency, with the amount increasing to 6 MP at level 9 heavy wand proficiency. More MP is drained if more monsters enter the magic circle.
