'''Disruptive Wave''' (originally '''DeMagic''') is a recurring skill in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'' as a monster-exclusive attack, it nullifies all stat changes, such as those caused by buffs ([[Kabuff]], [[Oomph]]) and debuffs ([[Kasap]], [[Deceleratle]]).

Introduced in {{Dragon Quest III}} as a {{MFamilies}}-exclusive attack, it nullifies all stat changes, such as those caused by buff abilities such as [[Kabuff]] and [[Oomph]], debuffs such as [[Kasap]] and [[Deceleratle]], and [[Tension]].
 
It is typically known by major bosses and is almost always used by the final bosses, making the use of stat changing moves futile in such battles if one's {{Luck}} is unrelentingly bad .

===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===
==={{DQ3}}===
Used by [[Zoma]], as well as some of the superbosses such as [[Xenlon]] and [[Grand Dragon]].
 
The 2024 remake allows the players characters to use a similar skill called [[Ripple of Disruption]] by reaching level 43 with a [[Martial Artist]], and it costs 12 {{MP}}.
 
==={{DQ4}}===
Disruptive Wave is a technique used by {{MFamilies}}s such as [[Estark]], {{Foo Yung}}, [[Psaro the Manslayer]], and [[Aamon]]. However, the {{Hero 4}} can unleash this by using the [[Zenithian sword]] as a tool in battle.


===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===
In the remakes, Disruptive Wave is one of the special abilities that the {{Psaro 9}} can learn.
Disruptive Wave is a technique used by enemies such as [[Estark]], [[Psaro the Manslayer]], and [[Aamon]]. However, the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|hero]] can unleash this by using the [[Zenithian sword]] as a tool in battle.


In the remakes, Disruptive Wave is one of the special abilities that [[Psaro (Character)|Psaro]] can learn.
==={{DQ5}}===
Disruptive Wave is learned by recruited {{King slime R}}s at level 18. [[Saber]] can also learn it at level 33, and [[Starkers]] learns it at Level 10. As in {{IV}}, the Zenithian sword can unleash this effect if used as a tool in battle.


===[[Dragon Quest V]]===
[[King Korol]], Grandmaster [[Nimzo]] and [[Estark]] can use Disruptive Wave in their boss fights.
Disruptive Wave is learned by recruited [[king slime]]s at level 18. As in Dragon Quest IV, the Zenithian sword can unleash this effect if used as a tool in battle.


===''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''===
==={{DQ6}}===
Disruptive Wave is learned by [[Hero (Class)|hero]]es when they are City Heroes (rank 2).
Disruptive Wave can be learned by any character in the {{Hero V}} vocation when they reach rank 2. This is the only way to learn the ability, as the Sword of Ramias instead casts [[Oomph]] when used as an item in battle.


===''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''===
As far as bosses go, [[Dhuran]], [[Mortamor]] and [[Nokturnus]] have access to Disruptive Wave.


===''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''===
==={{DQ7}}===
Learned via the Hero vocation as in {{VI}}, but also by reaching rank 6 of the [[Druid]] vocation in the {{PSX}} version and rank 3 in the {{3DS}}, or rank 7 of the [[Paladin]] vocation in the {{3DS}} version only. It is superior (and cheaper) than [[The Great Leveller]] as it covers more effects.
 
==={{DQ8}}===
Disruptive Wave is used by most of the later story bosses, starting with [[Dhoulmagus]].

Disruptive Wave is learned with 42 skill points allocated into [[List of enlightenment skills in Dragon Quest IX|Enlightenment skill]]. It costs 10MP to cast.
Disruptive Wave is learned with 42 skill points allocated into [[List of enlightenment skills in Dragon Quest IX|Enlightenment skill]]. It costs 10 {{MP}} to perform.
 
It is worth noting that Disruptive Wave acts slightly different in this installment as it now only affects the opposition when used by a character or a {{MFamilies}}. This makes debuffs viable against many bosses since they can't use the ability to clear them away. This isn't used as heavily by the story bosses (only [[King Godwyn]] and [[Corvus]] uses it). However, several of the {{Grotto}} bosses and ''all'' of the {{Legacy Boss}}es will use this ability.
 
==={{DQ10}}===
[[Sage]]s learn an ability similar to Disruptive Wave called [[Clear Your Mind]], by investing 100 points into their Enlightenment skill. It costs 10 {{MP}} to cast, and blasts a wave in a cone in front of them, removing positive status effects of any enemy hit. [[Demon Swordsman|Demon Swordsmen]] can learn Disruptive Wave with 70 points invested into their Wave skill. It costs 6 {{MP}} to cast, and functions similarly to Clear Your Mind. Several boss-level enemies also use this skill in battle.
 
==={{DQ11}}===
Disruptive Wave is a [[Pep]] power that can be used by [[Rab]] when he is [[pep]]ped up and has mastered [[Clear Your Mind]] and the {{Hero 11}} has mastered [[Unbridled Blade]]. It is also used by various bosses, including Jasper Unbound, [[Mordegon]], Lord of Shadows in his final form, Mordragon, [[Calasmos]], [[Overweening Pride]], [[Nelgelas]], the End of Time, and the Timewyrm.
 
==={{DQM}}===
Called '''DeMagic''' in this game, it requires the {{MFamilies}} to reach level 20 with 100 max {{MP}} and 140 {{Intelligence}}. It is naturally learned by [[Mortamor|DeathMore]] (Final form),[[Nimzo|Mirudraas]] (Transformed) and [[Zoma]]. It can also be learned by monsters with [[Wave of Relief|Surge]] and [[Wave of Panic|UltraDown]].
 
==={{DQM2}}===
DeMagic now requires 252 {{Intelligence}} to learn. It is naturally learned by [[Psycho Psaro|PsychoPiz]], [[Orgodemir]] (Transformed) and [[Scruffy|Warubou]].


It is worth noting that Disruptive Wave acts slightly different in this installment as it now only affects the opposition. This makes debuffs viable against many bosses since they can't use the ability to clear them away. This isn't used as heavily by the story bosses (only [[King Godwyn]] and [[Corvus]] uses it). However, several of the grotto bosses and ''all'' the [[legacy boss]]es will use this ability.

Starting with Version 3.0 of the game, the boss variant was renamed to '''Extra Frigid Wave''' in order to differentiate it from the version that [[Zoma]] can learn. This version only costs 42 {{MP}} to use and affects the entire stage.

==Trivia==
*The {{Translation|Japanese name|いてつくはどう|Itetsuku hadou|"Freezing Waves"}} refers to [[Zoma]]'s ice magic, as he was the first to use the skill.
*In the initial English version of {{Dragon Quest VIII}}, it was referred to as a '''Wave of Ice''', a literal translation of its Japanese name. Subsequent releases, such as the [[Cell phone]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] versions, have changed it to Disruptive Wave.
