Bounce is a recurring spell throughout the Dragon Quest franchise. It protects the caster from enemy attack spells, not by reducing their strength, but by throwing them back at the caster. The barrier is conjured up for 4 MP, and will last 6~9 turns. Among the items that can emulate it's effect includes the Zenithian shield.
It must be noted that Bounce reflects all spells targeting the caster with only a select few exceptions; beneficial spells will be sent back to their conjurer as well as harmful ones. Self-targeting magic still takes affect, however, as well as Insulatele, Kaclang, Bazoom, and Magic Barrier.

Dragon Quest IX
| Bounce (DS) | ||
|---|---|---|
| MP | 4 | |
| Effect | Reflects all spells cast by the enemy that target the caster of Bounce. | |
| Flavor text | Forms a protective barrier that reflects all enemy spells. | |
Important things to remember:
- Breaths, particle beams, etc. are not reflected by Bounce.
- Reflected spells use the reflecting player/enemy's Magical Might rather than the original caster's.
- Multiple-target spells such as the Bang series are reflected on a per-hit basis. If only your Mage has Bounce up, the rest of the party will still be hit by the spell; if everyone has Bounce or Magic Mirror up, the entire spell will be returned to its caster.
