Fizzle is a recurring spell in the Dragon Quest series.
Introduced in the original game, it is a spell that attempts to seal the spells of the target/targets, preventing them from casting magic.
Interestingly Fizzle does not prevent those afflicted from being able to speak, as is the case with instances of spell-sealing seen in other media. This can be seen during the in-battle Party Chat seen in the PSX version of VII.
Localization History[edit]
The original Japanese versions of the Monsters: Joker spinoffs introduced a single-target spell by the name of Mahotomu and continued to use the name Mahotōn for the multi-target spell. The English localization team decided to use the name Fizzle for the new single-target spell in the games, while using the new name Kafizzle for the original spell, which always affected a group of enemies. This practice has become standard for games the feature both spells.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest[edit]
Fizzle is learned by the Hero at level 10. It costs 2 MP to use it against an enemy, and it stops them from casting spells. Like with other spells in the original title, Fizzle uses a resistance table based on 16; I.E. 1 in 16 to hit, 2 in 16, and so on. Due to the way the game's calculations are programmed, no enemies are fully immune to Fizzle, with its odds of working bottoming out at 1/16. Some enemies, such as Scorpions, will not be affected, because they do not have any spells.
The enemies drohl diabolist, scarewolf, knight errant, and the first form of the Dragonlord can use this spell against the player. Enemy Fizzle spells have a 50/50 chance of working each time the spell is cast. If the Hero is wearing Erdrick's Armour, enemy Fizzle spells will always fail against him.
