Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark PrinceEdit
Drain Magic costs no MP and the amount drained is (Level/2) + 5~10, with the utmost limit being 250 when factoring in the target's vulnerability to being siphoned. It is learned through the Antimagician, Charmer, Dark Artist, Magic Maven, Nature Child, Paramedic, and Tongue Twister talents.

Drain Magic can be cast by Lazarel and Teresa if they are wielding a heavy wand. It draws a magic circle in front of the caster that steals MP of any monsters that enter it. By holding down the button, the range of the spell can be changed with the analog stick. In this game, monsters do not have a set amount of MP so it can be drained indefinitely as much as desired.
The amount of MP drained is 3 at basic proficiency, with the amount increasing to 6 MP at level 9 heavy wand proficiency. More MP is drained if more monsters enter the magic circle.
