'''Maelstrom''' is a powerful spell that first appeared in ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''. When conjured, it crushes a group of foes with a biblical deluge of water. It deals 120~150 damage for 12MP in all main series instances, even when used by foes. 

Despite the spells' nautical nature, it actually uses the [[woosh]] attribute for resistance checks when cast by the player. When used by monsters, it carries no element at all and can only be weathered by donning the [[Bottlenose buckler]] and [[Saint's Equipment|Aeras shield]].

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===
Appearing only in the remakes, the spell is put to use my the menacing [[Croaked king]] and hits all party members.

===''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''===

===''[[Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below]]''===

-Maelstrom is an enemy-only spell, being used by sea monsters such as [[Alizarin]]. It deals around 80 damage to all party members, marking the first break from the traditional range.
