The concept of a skill refers to a physical action that cannot be described as a regular attack or a spell, and there exists a great variety of actions contained therein. A skill can be something as simple as [[Rib-Tickler|cracking a joke]] to summoning a [[That Special Summon|demigod from another dimension]], and as carefree as gently [[Hymn of Air|strumming a harp]] to filling oneself with [[Channel Anger|overwhelming rage]]. Skills can be differentiated from spells in the following ways between each game in the series: | |||
*Unaffected by [[Bounce]] and [[Bound]] | |||
*Cannot be sealed with [[Fizzle]]--a skill may be shut down by another skill depending on its type, described below | |||
*Can only be used once per turn, with no [[Duplic hat]] equivalent | |||
Skill by and large do not grow more powerful as a character's {{Wisdom}} or Magical Might and Mending increase, but there are exceptions to this in a few titles. | |||

==Breath attacks== | ==Breath attacks== | ||
Breathing fire is a component of mythology older than writing, and has been a part of the Dragon Quest series since the beginning. All breath attacks target every enemy on screen, and can be doubled in power for one turn by using [[Deep Breath]] on the previous turn. Breath attacks are the skills closest to spells in that they have a series of counter abilities just like magic: [[Insulatle]] reduces damage, [[Backdraft]] bounces the attack back, and [[Gobstopper]] prevents a character from using breath altogether. | |||

==Dances== | ==Dances== | ||
Dances are support abilities that can replicate certain spells for no MP, with the two exceptions being Death Dance and Sword Dance. There are no abilities that weaken dances due to most of them being support, but a rug-cutter can be stopped in place with [[Ban dance]]. | |||
