'''Wisdom''' (''also localized as '''Intelligence''''') measures a character's natural cognitive ability. Mechanically, Wisdom is a curious attribute, as it's function has changed greatly throughout the series. For the majority of its appearances, the Wisdom stat has controlled a character's ability to dodge harmful magic (I.E., a stat of 250 will give a character a twenty five percent chance to avoid an enemy spell entirely). Starting with Dragon quest VIII, however, Wisdom has begun to effect the potency and power of spells, such as raising [[Snooze]]'s accuracy from fifty to seventy-five percent at higher values.
