Heal: Difference between revisions

|old =  

'''Heal''' is a recurring spell in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. As its name suggests, it functions to restore the [[Hit Points]] of the character it is used on. As the seminal spell of the franchise, Heal is almost always the first spell learned by the [[Hero|Hero/Heroine]] in their adventure. It is related to the more powerful spells [[Midheal]], [[Moreheal]], [[Multiheal]], [[Fullheal]], and [[Omniheal]].

Certain monsters (e.g. a [[Healslime|healslime]]) can also know this spell, with more powerful palette swaps knowing improved versions of the spell.

===''Dragon Quest I''===

Heal is learned by [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|the Hero]] at Level 3. In the original version it will restore 10~17 HP for 4 MP, and 25~30 for 3 MP in the remakes.

The [[Prince of Cannock]] knows the spell upon being recruited. It restores 23~42 hit points in the original, and 25~30 in the remakes. Both versions cost 3 MP.

Heal is automatically learned by one who is a Priest from the beginning, but those who become a Priest or Sage in the [[Alltrades Abbey]] need to advance one Level to learn it. In the mobile port, this is changed so that anyone who becomes a Priest or Sage automatically knows the spell at level 1.

The Hero can learn it much sooner for use in battle in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] Version if a [[List of glitches in Dragon Quest III#Companion overload glitch|glitch]] is exploited in [[Ruida's Tavern]] where too many companions are registered, though it will prevent The Hero from being able to learn it for use on the world map.

The spell can cause damage to [[Zoma]] after the [[Ball of Light|Sphere of Light]] is used on him.

===''Dragon Quest IV''===

The basic heal spell is known by [[Kiryl]] and [[Meena]] at level 1.  [[Healie]] and [[Laurel]] also know the spell. It costs 2 [[MP]] to cast and Heals 30~40 [[HP]] (unless it heals the target completely) to party members.

''Dragon Quest IV'' is the installment that finalized the MP cost and HP range of the spell, with no subsequent game deviating from this new standard.

In addition to the Hero and Maribel, any character that becomes a Cleric at Dharma Temple learns the spell at the first rank. It is also learned by [[Shepherd]]s at rank 3, the [[Florajay (Class)|Florajay]] monster class at rank 2, and the [[Healer (Class)|Healslime]] monster class at rank 2.

Heal initially restores the usual 30~40 hit points when used, but when the caster's magical mending surpasses 50 it will gradually improve in potency. Once the caster's mending has reached 999, the spell will restore 155~165 HP.
