Dazzle is a recurring spell in the Dragon Quest series. It attempts to fool a group of enemies with illusions of party members surrounding the enemy's target, reducing their accuracy to 3⁄8 (37.5%). Introduced in Dragon Quest II, it typically associated with Priest-like characters but has also been learned by Magi in certain titles. The spell typically has a 100% success rate, barring enemy resistance.
