| Older names | SleepMore, SleepAll |
Introduced in Dragon Quest IV, it would only target a single enemy; however, in later games it attempts to put all enemies to Sleep.
In its debut appearance, Kasnooze ignored the standard 100%, 75%, 25%, 0% accuracy ranges that other spells utilized, instead using a 100%, 100%, 50%, 0% table, essentially doubling the vulnerability monsters have to the Sleep status. While the exact percentages have changed slightly in each subsequent game, the utility of Kasnooze treating resistance rates as if they are one level lower persists.
