'''Dazzle''', originally localized as '''Surround''' is a recurring spell in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'' series]]. It attempts to distract a group of enemies with illusions, reducing their accuracy to 3/8ths (37.5%). Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest II]]'', it has been a low level spell that [[Mage|Magi]] learn early in their careers. The spell typically has a 100% success rate, barring enemy resistance.
