Naturally, it is one of his iconic spells. When used, [[Kiryl]] will send out a dark incantation that tracks down a random {{MFamilies}} and has a small chance to kill them instantly. [[Kiryl]] can upgrade the spell and cast [[Thwack]] by charging up Whack for a few seconds. | ||

*In an interview with ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' magazine, series creator [[Yuji Horii]] noted that the AI in {{Dragon Quest IV}} was built such that in its original version, [[Kiryl]]'s algorithms would always conclude Whack (called Beat in this version) was the character's best offensive option against foes with high {{HP}} and the character would end up casting it turn after turn, simply because it "could not get over the power of the spell". The problem was halfway corrected in the balance-adjusted {{PS1}} remake, except that Kiryl almost ''never'' casts Whack.
