Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit]
Poof is already known by Nevan upon joining the party. Other characters can obtain it at the first rank of the Priest vocation. Poof uses a 50%, 20%, 10% & 0% resistance table, making it less effective than previous games.
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit]
Poof is already known by Sir Mervyn when he joins the party. Once again, other characters can learn it at rank one as a Priest. VII uses the same battle system as the previous game, meaning Poof's utility is scant.
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined[edit]
Poof is learned by reaching rank 2 of Sir Mervyn's Chevalier vocation and rank 2 of the Hero vocation. It 2 MP to cast and has a fixed 50% chance to expel monsters from the battle at the cost of voiding the experience points, proficiency points, and gold that would have been obtained if the target was defeated normally.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit]
The Luminary will learn the spell for 8 points in his Luminary skill tree. It costs 2 MP to cast and now targets all enemies.
