The '''magic vestment''' is a recurring robe in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'']] series. It can be worn by priests and other spellcasters and reduces damage from magic spells.
==Localization history==
まほうのほうい and まほうの法衣 have been translated into English as the magic vestment in most appearances, though in ''III'', ''IX'', & ''Treasures'' it has been translated as the [[magical robes]] instead.

==Characteristics==
The design of the magic vestment has changed little over the years. It is a long, trailing robe similar to those worn by real life clergy, with a high collar and white fur lining, clasps in the front, and yellow rhombus designs embroidered near the sleeves. In most of the art, the robe appears to be either a red or magenta color, but it is depicted as mint green in ''IV''. The length of the robe has changed depending on the game as well, as the end trails on the ground behind the wearer in ''III'' and ''IV'', but in later games, the robe ends at the ankles. In Japanese, the word ''hoi'' refers to a ceremonial garment worn by either a Buddhist or Taoist priest.

The magic vestment is a recurring robe in the series. It can be worn by priests and other spellcasters and reduces damage from magic spells.

Localization history[edit]

まほうのほうい and まほうの法衣 have been translated into English as the magic vestment in most appearances, though in III, IX, & Treasures it has been translated as the magical robes instead.

Characteristics[edit]

The design of the magic vestment has changed little over the years. It is a long, trailing robe similar to those worn by real life clergy, with a high collar and white fur lining, clasps in the front, and gold crosses embroidered on the sleeves. In most of the art, the robe appears to be either a red or magenta colour, but it is depicted as mint green in IV. The length of the robe has changed depending on the game as well, as the end trails on the ground behind the wearer in III and IV, but in later games, the robe ends at the ankles. The robe's name in Japanese, Mahō no hōi, refers to a ceremonial garment worn by either a Buddhist or Taoist priest.
