Kasnooze
Kasnooze is a recurring spell in the Dragon Quest Series. Introduced in Dragon Quest IV, it only worked on one enemy; however in later games it attempts to put all enemies to sleep.
In the 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.
