Heal is a recurring spell in the Dragon Quest series. As its name suggests, it functions to restore the Hit Points of the character it is used on. As the seminal spell of the franchise, Heal is almost always the first spell learned by the Hero/Heroine in their adventure. It is related to the more powerful spells Midheal, Moreheal, Multiheal, Fullheal, and Omniheal.

Appearances
Dragon Quest
| Game | Description |
 | Restores 25-30 HP.[1] |
Heal is learned by Hero at Level 3. In the original version it will restore 10~17 HP for 4 MP, and 25~30 for 3 MP in the remakes.
The enemies Drackyma, Raving lunatick, Skeleton scrapper, and Skeleton soldier can use this spell to heal themselves.
Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line
| Game | Description |
 | Restores 25-30 HP.[2] |
The Prince of Cannock knows the spell upon being recruited. It restores 23~42 hit points in the original, and 25~30 in the remakes. Both versions cost 3 MP.
The enemies Gremlin, Hawk man, and Healslime can use this spell to heal themselves.
Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation
| Game | Description |
 | Restores around 30 HP to a single ally.[3] |
Heal restores 30~40 HP for 3 MP, and is learned by the following characters:
| Name | Level |
|---|---|
| Hero | 4 |
| Priest | 2 |
| Sage | 2 |
Heal is automatically learned by one who is a Priest from the beginning, but those who become a Priest or Sage in the Alltrades Abbey need to advance one level to learn it. In the mobile port, this is changed so that anyone who becomes a Priest or Sage automatically knows the spell at level 1.
The Hero can learn it much sooner for use in battle in the NES Version if a glitch is exploited in Patty's Party Planning Place where too many companions are registered, though it will prevent The Hero from being able to learn it for use on the world map.
The spell can cause damage to Zoma after the Sphere of Light is used on him.
The enemies Bag o' laughs, Mushroom mage, and Healslime can use this spell to heal themselves or their allies.
