'''Fizzle''' is a recurring spell in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in the [[Dragon Quest|original game]], it is a spell that attempts to seal the spells of the target/targets, preventing them from casting magic.
'''Fizzle''' is a recurring spell in the {{DQSeries}}.


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''.

Fizzle is learned by the {{Hero 1}} 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 [[scorpion]]s, 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.
