The spell Midheal (ベホイミ Behoimi) is a recurring healing spell in the Dragon Quest series. It restores a moderate amount of HP to one character, and is related to the spells Heal, Moreheal, Fullheal, Multiheal, and Omniheal.

Medislimes are known for casting this spell on their allies in battle, often prolonging encounters considerably.

Dragon Quest

Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line

Midheal is learned by The Prince of Cannock at Level 14, while The Princess of Moonbrooke starts with it. It requires 5 MP to cast in all versions of the game.
