Kaclang

Kaclang is a spell which renders the recipient invulnerable, but also unable to act.

It was introduced in Dragon Quest III at first exclusive to the Hero class. Affects the whole party. Some monsters also have the Kaclang spell.

Seemingly useless at first glance, the spell is actually quite handy to trick an enemy into wasting all their MP, as well as scouting for their abilities.
