Magic Burst: Difference between revisions

'''Magic Burst''' (Japanese: ''Madante'', originally '''MegaMagic''') is a recurring spell in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|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.

Absent from the original, it is the last spell [[Psaro (Character)|Psaro]] acquires in the remakes at level 60. Damage is calculated by multiplying his current mp by 2. Majic Burst is also used by the [[Aamon|true final boss]] in Chapter 6, dealing between 200~220 damage, which can be diminished by casting [[Insulatle]].

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. The only other way to obtain this spell is by advancing to rank 6 of the [[Liquid Metal Slime (Class)|Liquid Metal Slime]] vocation. Mp is multiplied by 3 in the original version, and by 2 in the remake.

Acquired through the [[rosevine]] class, it is one of the most powerful spells in the game, dealing about 3 damage per MP used (and thus capable of nearly 3000 damage if the user has the maximum of 999 MP).

Learned by [[Jessica Albert|Jessica]] upon mastery of her fisticuffs skill set. Its power has been decreased from the earlier games, likely due to the ability to [[psyche up]] to raise an attack's potency.

Sages who reach level 78 in the vocation 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.

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

Ma'''dante''' is likely a reference to Dante's Inferno, considering the flame attribute originally associated with it, as well as the hellish damage it causes.
