Kaboom can only be obtained by mastering the Sage vocation. The force of the explosion has been focused slightly, dealing 130~150 damage for 15 MP.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past

Kaboom has the same aspects as in the previous game and is learned through the same method.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

Kaboom is learned by Jessica at level 33, with a base range of 104~120. Once Miss Albert's wisdom surpasses 251 the spell will gradually increase in power, until her cognitive prowess peaks at 556. From there the spell will blast all enemies for 184~200 damage.

  • The spell has been given a damage boost in the 3DS port, with the base range growing to 112~128 and the upper limit reaching 208~224. This zenith requires a wisdom score of 620 to reach.

The spell will begin to increase in power proportionally starting with a Magical Might of 200. Once the caster's Magical Might surpasses 999 via buffs, the formula becomes (Magical might - 999) /4 + 298~310 for an upper limit of 423~435
