Bounce is a recurring spell throughout the Dragon Quest franchise. It protects the caster from enemy attack spells, not by reducing their strength, but by throwing them back at the caster.

| Effect | Reflects all spells cast by the enemy that target the caster of Bounce. | |
| Flavor text | Forms a protective barrier that reflects all enemy spells. | |
Important things to remember:
- Breaths, particle beams, etc. are not reflected by Bounce.
- Reflected spells use the reflecting player/enemy's Magical Might rather than the original caster's.
- Multiple-target spells such as the Bang series are reflected on a per-hit basis. If only your Mage has Bounce up, the rest of the party will still be hit by the spell; if everyone has Bounce or Magic Mirror up, the entire spell will be returned to its caster.
