| Older names | Hurt Firebal |
Sizz is a spell in the Dragon Quest series. It is the premier offensive spell, introduced in the original Dragon Quest, and is often learned by Mages and other practitioners of offensive magic.
Immediately as of Dragon Quest III, Sizz was a single fireball that attacks a single enemy. Ever since then, Sizz is now depicted as a line of fire that attacks a group of enemies; Frizz would now take Sizz's place as a single fireball that hits one enemy. The flames intensify and movements grow more elaborate as the spell line advances.
