Magic Burst is also used by the [[Aamon|true final boss]] in {{DQ4 Chapter 6}}, dealing between 200~220 damage, which cannot be diminished by casting [[Insulatle]].
 
==={{DQ6}}===
The game of the spell's introduction, it is acquired by [[Ashlynn]] through an event in [[Sorceria]]. However, in the remakes, it is also learned by [[Mercury]] at level 7. The only other way to obtain this spell is by advancing to rank 6 of the [[Liquid metal slime (vocation)|Liquid metal slime]] vocation in any version. {{MP}} is multiplied by 3 in the original version, and by 2 in the remake, and both use the [[Fire Breath]] attribute. [[Bounce]], [[Magic Barrier]], and [[Insulatle]] will have no effect on the spell's power.
 
[[Mortamor]] can use this spell in his final form.
 
Humorously, Magic Burst is classified by the game as a skill rather than a spell despite all dialogue to the contrary, likely so that it will be unaffected by [[Bounce]].
 
==={{DQ7}}===
Acquired through the [[Gripevine (vocation)|Gripevine]] class in both versions, dealing 3x {{MP}} in the original and 2x {{MP}} in the {{3DS}} Version. In both versions, the [[Orgodemir|final boss]] will cast is for 200~220 damage. Magic Burst features the same properties as in the previous game, and in the {{3DS}} remake will also display a unique animation if [[Maribel Mayde]] is the caster.
 
==={{DQ8}}===
Learned by [[Jessica Albert]] upon mastery of her fisticuffs skill set. {{VIII}} is the first game to reduce the spell's power from 3x {{MP}} to 2x {{MP}}, likely due to the ability to [[Tension|psyche up]] to raise an attack's potency to obscene levels.
 
The spell is used by [[Rhapthorne]] during his second fight and the [[Lord of the Dragovians]] in his Ultimate form, as well as [[Evil Jessica in Memoriam]] in the {{3DS}} version. It is also the deathmove of several [[Call Team|monster teams]], specifically ''Full Metal Power'', ''Mega Metal Maniacs'', and ''Metal Power''. All three of these teams contain different configurations of the same three metal slime monsters [[Hev]], [[Metabble (Recruit)|Metabble]], and [[Metaly (Recruit)|Metaly]].
 
{{VIII}} is also the first game to classify Magic Burst as a spell, with a special event flag in the coding allowing it to override [[Bounce]] and [[Magic Barrier]].
 
==={{DQ9}}===
Magic Burst now has no elemental attribute with only [[Metal slime]]s having any resistance, and [[Sage]]s who reach level 78 will acquire the spell. As is the case with the previous installment, its damage has been reduced due to psyching up, and will only deal about 1.5 times the current {{MP}} of the user of damage if cast without tension. Magic Burst also works if the caster is [[Fizzle]]ed.
 
When cast by a Legacy Boss, the calculation switches from {{MP}} to level; specifically ''(6*lvl*(0.9~1.0))''.
 
==={{DQ10}}===
Magic Burst is learned by [[Armamentalist]]s after completing Quest #352 and subsequently raising their Fource skill cap to 150. It deals '''4x {{MP}}''' now, but this increased damage is limited only to enemies in immediate proximity to the caster and a lengthy incantation time of '''two minutes'''.
 
==={{DQ11}}===
{{Veronica 11}} will learn Magic Burst at level 70. The spell returns to multiplying {{MP}} by three, but in order to be case {{Veronica 11}} must have at least 64 {{MP}}. Additionally, the damage will also be multiplied by 1.5 if the girl is under the effects of [[Channel Anger]].
{{XI}} also adds Mighty Magic Burst, a [[Pep]] Power that requires both {{Veronica 11}} and her sister {{Serena 11}} to be pepped. When used, it functions like any other Magic Burst, except it also uses {{Serena 11}} 11}}'s {{MP}} and deals damage equal to 3x ({{Veronica 11}}'s {{MP}} + {{Serena 11}}'s {{MP}}) before completely draining the {{MP}} bars of both sisters and consuming their [[Pep]] (deals 3x ({{Serena 11}}'s {{MP}} + (1.5x {{Veronica 11}}'s {{MP}})) if {{Veronica 11}} has [[Channel Anger]] active, effectively treating her {{MP}} contribution as 1.5x).
 
==={{DQM}}===
The spell utilizes a specific attribute all to itself, with some non-{{Metal slime}} {{MFamilies}}s thus being totally immune. Powerful {{MFamilies}}s, such as the [[Prism peacock|RainHawk]], acquire the spell, though, humorously enough, the basic [[Slime]] is capable of learning it if their stats and lineage will allow. It requires the {{MFamilies}} to reach level 38 with 210 {{MP}} and 224 {{Intelligence}}.
 
==={{DQM2}}===
The spell remains mostly the same from the original {{Monsters}} title, only with a few of the new {{MFamilies}}s learning it as well. The simple [[Slime]] is still capable of learning the spell if it obtains the statistics for it. [[Orgodemir]] (Transformed) learns it, as well. It now requires 794 {{Intelligence}} to learn.

*[[Muspell]] (100 points)

The game of the spell's introduction, it is acquired by [[Ashlynn]] through an event in [[Sorceria]]. However, in the DS remakes, it is also learned by [[Mercury]] at level 7.

Mp is multiplied by 3 in the original version, and by 2 in the remake.
Magic Burst damages all enemies with Light, with damage being 150% of the MP used.

Magic Burst appears as [[Ashlynn]]'s [[Coup de Grâce]]. It can be learned at level 80 and uses all of her {{MP}} when cast. It has a range of three squares in front of her and inflicts unreflectable spell damage to all enemies in a range of a 3x3 square. Since it is a [[Coup de Grâce]], it takes 5 turns to charge and can only be cast once per battle. Upgrading the spell increases its damage.

The Japanese name of the spell, ''Madante'' {{Translation|マダンテ|"Madante"}}, likely derives from a combination of the Japanese words ''Magic'' {{Translation|魔法|"Mahou"}} and ''Conclusion'' {{Translation|断定|"Dante"}}.

Magic Burst is a recurring spell in the Dragon Quest series.

Introduced in Dragon Quest VI, it uses all the user's remaining MP to launch an attack on all opponents, its power dependent on the amount of MP spent.

Appearances[edit]

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen[edit]

Absent from the original, it is the last spell that the 9th Chosen One acquires in the remakes at level 60. Damage is calculated by multiplying his current MP by 2. Magic Burst is also used by the true final boss in Chapter 6, dealing between 200~220 damage, which cannot be diminished by casting Insulatle.

Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit]

The game of the spell's introduction, it is acquired by Ashlynn through an event in Sorceria. However, in the remakes, it is also learned by Mercury at level 7. The only other way to obtain this spell is by advancing to rank 6 of the Liquid metal slime vocation in any version. MP is multiplied by 3 in the original version, and by 2 in the remake, and both use the Fire Breath attribute. Bounce, Magic Barrier, and Insulatle will have no effect on the spell's power.

Mortamor can use this spell in his final form.

Humorously, Magic Burst is classified by the game as a skill rather than a spell despite all dialogue to the contrary, likely so that it will be unaffected by Bounce.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit]

Acquired through the Gripevine class in both versions, dealing 3x MP in the original and 2x MP in the 3DS Version. In both versions, the final boss will cast is for 200~220 damage. Magic Burst features the same properties as in the previous game, and in the 3DS remake will also display a unique animation if Maribel Mayde is the caster.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit]

Learned by Jessica Albert upon mastery of her fisticuffs skill set. VIII is the first game to reduce the spell's power from 3x MP to 2x MP, likely due to the ability to psyche up to raise an attack's potency to obscene levels.

The spell is used by Rhapthorne during his second fight and the Lord of the Dragovians in his Ultimate form, as well as Evil Jessica in Memoriam in the 3DS version. It is also the deathmove of several monster teams, specifically Full Metal Power, Mega Metal Maniacs, and Metal Power. All three of these teams contain different configurations of the same three metal slime monsters Hev, Metabble, and Metaly.

VIII is also the first game to classify Magic Burst as a spell, with a special event flag in the coding allowing it to override Bounce and Magic Barrier.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit]

Magic Burst now has no elemental attribute with only Metal slimes having any resistance, and Sages who reach level 78 will acquire the spell. As is the case with the previous installment, its damage has been reduced due to psyching up, and will only deal about 1.5 times the current MP of the user of damage if cast without tension. Magic Burst also works if the caster is Fizzleed.

When cast by a Legacy Boss, the calculation switches from MP to level; specifically (6*lvl*(0.9~1.0)).

Dragon Quest X[edit]

Magic Burst is learned by Armamentalists after completing Quest #352 and subsequently raising their Fource skill cap to 150. It deals 4x MP now, but this increased damage is limited only to enemies in immediate proximity to the caster and a lengthy incantation time of two minutes.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit]

Veronica will learn Magic Burst at level 70. The spell returns to multiplying MP by three, but in order to be case Veronica must have at least 64 MP. Additionally, the damage will also be multiplied by 1.5 if the girl is under the effects of Channel Anger. XI also adds Mighty Magic Burst, a Pep Power that requires both Veronica and her sister Serena to be pepped. When used, it functions like any other Magic Burst, except it also uses Serena 11}}'s MP and deals damage equal to 3x (Veronica's MP + Serena's MP) before completely draining the MP bars of both sisters and consuming their Pep (deals 3x (Serena's MP + (1.5x Veronica's MP)) if Veronica has Channel Anger active, effectively treating her MP contribution as 1.5x).

Dragon Quest Monsters[edit]

The spell utilizes a specific attribute all to itself, with some non-Metal slime monsters thus being totally immune. Powerful monsters, such as the RainHawk, acquire the spell, though, humorously enough, the basic Slime is capable of learning it if their stats and lineage will allow. It requires the monster to reach level 38 with 210 MP and 224 Intelligence.

Dragon Quest Monsters 2[edit]

The spell remains mostly the same from the original Monsters title, only with a few of the new monsters learning it as well. The simple Slime is still capable of learning the spell if it obtains the statistics for it. Orgodemir (Transformed) learns it, as well. It now requires 794 Intelligence to learn.

"Brace yourselves!"

—Jessica entering super high tension mode in Dragon Quest Heroes II: Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End

Magic Burst is Jessica's Coup de Grâce ability, which she can activate when in a state of super high tension. She draws in all the enemies around her as she triggers a massive explosion of magic that briefly uses up all her magic. But unlike in most games, her MP recovers to how it was before this ability was triggered after just one second.

Dragon Quest Tact[edit]

Magic Burst appears as Ashlynn's Coup de Grâce. It can be learned at level 80 and uses all of her MP when cast. It has a range of three squares in front of her and inflicts unreflectable spell damage to all enemies in a range of a 3x3 square. Since it is a Coup de Grâce, it takes 5 turns to charge and can only be cast once per battle. Upgrading the spell increases its damage.
