==Localization History==
Prior to the localization of {{IX}}, Kafrizzle was the English equivalent of the the メラゾーマ (Merazoma) spell. The Kafrizzle seen in {{IX}} and later numbered titles refers to the spell メラガイアー (Meragaia), as the Japanese version of the ninth game added several of the fourth-tier spells from {{Joker}} into the main series. Because the English root word of [[Frizz]] could not be further expanded upon as the Japanese mera was, the localization team instead opted to keep the Kafrizzle term for the most powerful fireball spell and assign the English name [[Kafrizz]] to Merazoma.
