Frizz is a recurring offensive spell in the Dragon Quest series.

Introduced in Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation, it is a single target spell (in contrast to group-searing Sizz) and is often learned by Mages.

It is depicted as a single fireball that attacks the enemy. The advanced versions are Frizzle, Kafrizz, & Kafrizzle, with the fireball growing more colossal with each stage.

It can be charged up and turned into Frizzle and Kafrizz, much like Robin's Thunder tomes.

The foe's fireball will deal 7~12 damage in its first appearance and stuck with that simmer until VIII, where it would weaken to 6~9 damage. Beginning with IX, Frizz deals 7~10 damage.
