'''Fuddle''' is a recurring debilitating spell in the {{DQSeries}} that was introduced in {{DQ3}}.

It has a 100% chance to [[Confusion|confuse]] a group of enemies, barring resistance, and costs 5 {{MP}} in all appearances. It is the diminutive form of [[Kafuddle]] and is often learned by [[Mage]]s.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ2}}===
Fuddle itself does not appear in {{II}} per se, but the [[confusion]] [[status effect]] is present as one of the results of [[Hocus Pocus]].

==={{DQ3}}===
Fuddle debuts as a proper spell in {{III}}, with [[Mage]]s and [[Sage]]s learning it at Level 27. The spell targets only a single enemy, somewhat limiting its usefulness compared to [[Snooze]] and [[Dazzle]]. If a {{Party 3}} member is afflicted by the spell, they can be snapped out of it by striking them; this safety feature is limited to {{III}}, however.

The enemies [[Leger-de-Man|leger-de-man]], [[goodybag]], [[lump mage]], [[lump shaman]], [[hocus chimaera]], [[Baramos]], and [[Soul of Baramos]] can use this spell against the party.

==={{DQ3HD}}===
Fuddle is learned by Mages and Sages at level 27 if their wisdom exceeds 64 points. It costs 6 MP and has a 2/3rds chance to confuse one for for 2~3 turns before resistance is applied.

==={{DQ4}}===
Fuddle is learned by [[Borya]] at Level 30, and has the same range as before. The spell is more useful than in {{III}}, as only a handful of enemies have an immunity - even into the final areas and the [[bonus dungeon]], {{Fungeon 4}}.

The enemies [[fuddlestick]], [[damselfly]], [[pocus poppet]], and [[axolotl]] can use this spell against the party.

==={{DQ5}}===
Fuddle's range has increased to affect a group of enemies now, greatly improving the spell's usability all the way to the end game.

[[Bag o' laughs]], [[frighturn]], and [[air duckt]] use this spell as enemies.

==={{DQ6}}===
Fuddle is learned by [[Ashlynn]] at Level 18. Other characters can learn it by advancing to rank 4 of the [[Mage]] vocation.

The enemies [[goodybag]], [[Dogmus]], [[fuddleguana]], and [[dreadstaff]] use this spell against the party.

==={{DQ7}}===
Fuddle is very scarce in the seventh game, only being learned by reaching rank 6 of the [[Goodybag (vocation)|Goodybag]] {{Vocation}}.

It can be cast by the enemies [[clawcerer]], [[compos mantis]], [[monolog]], [[numpton]], [[pogoin' penguin]], [[terrorhawk]], and [[bird of terrordise|birds of terrordise]].

==={{DQ8}}===
{{Jessica}} learns this spell after investing 26 points into her "Sex Appeal" skill and costs 5 {{MP}}. The spell, along with the newly added [[Kafuddle]], is the most reliable status ailment in the post-game, where nearly every monster is immune to [[Dazzle]] and [[Kasnooze]].

It can also be cast by the enemies [[Lump mage]], [[Trap box]], [[Lump shaman]], [[Mimic king]], and [[Unholy bishop]].

==={{DQ9}}===
Fuddle is learned by [[Mage]]s at Level 19 and [[Armamentalist]]s at Level 20. It costs 5 {{MP}} to cast with a base accuracy of 50%, and will become more accurate once the caster's {{Magical Might}} surpasses 50. Once the value reaches 999, the spell will be accurate 100% barring enemy resistance.

==={{DQ10}}===
{{Stub}}

==={{DQ11}}===
{{Veronica 11}} will learn Fuddle at Level 19. It costs 3 MP and targets one single enemy as it first did back in ''III'', and will reach 100% accuracy against non-resistant enemies when Veronica's {{Magical Might}} hits 799.

==={{DQM}}===
Called PanicAll in this game, it requires the monster to reach Level 12 with 56 {{MP}} and 49 {{Intelligence}}. It is naturally learned by the [[biguana]], [[Quack up|duckkite]], [[Goodybag|jewelbag]], [[Deadly dodo|madgoose]] and [[Pocus poppet|voodoll]], among others.

==={{DQM2}}===
PanicAll now requires 89 {{Intelligence}} to learn. It is naturally learned by the [[Rockin' rockhopper|cragdevil]], [[Mime slime|mimeslime]] and [[Frightbait|putrefish]]. It is no longer naturally learned by the [[Deadly dodo|madgoose]].

==={{DQMCH}}===
{{Stub}}

==={{DQMJ}}===
Fuddle can be learned by investing 14 points into [[Fear-monger]], 16 points into [[Hypnotist]] or 70 points into [[Über Charmer]].

==={{DQMJ2}}===
Fuddle can be learned from all the skills it could be previously, though [[Fear-monger]] now requires 8 points. It can also be learned from [[Muspell]] for 4 points.

Fuddle target's one monster, costs 5 MP, and it's effect lasts for 2~5 turns, with the success chance rising along with the caster's wisdom. It is learned through the [[Baramos (Talent)|Baramos]], [[Blazer]], [[Hexcommunicator]], [[Nuisance]], [[Prankster]], [[Scruffy (Talent)|Scruffy]], [[Sleep Counsellor]], [[Stinker]], [[Swirling Dervish]], and [[Thrill-Seeker]] talents.

==={{DQTact}}===
Fuddle is known naturally by [[Baramonster]], [[Drohl diabolist]], [[Lump shaman]], [[Pickled slime]], [[Terrorhawk]], and [[Trap box]] at Level 1. It costs 8 MP to cast, has a range of three squares away from the caster in any direction, and has a chance to inflict confusion. Upgrading Fuddle adds a 2% success rate of confusion, up to a max of a +20% at +10.
