It is worth noting that the [[Flame Breath]] used in the dragon form negates the {{Defense}}s of metal {{MFamilies}}s, instantly slaying any that linger long enough to be hit by it. The spell will also affect the caster's '''stats''', setting their {{Attack}} to 140, {{Defense}} to 75, and {{Agility}} to 62 for the remainder of the battle. These stats match the [[Green dragon]], and the game cites the enemy's code for the spell: the {{Attack}} stat is actually useless as the character will only spew fire. | ||

The possible damage output is 170~190, 136~151, 102~113, and 85~94. Because all versions of {{III}} use success probability modifiers for a foe's resistance instead of damage reduction seen in every game after {{V}}, this means that fire breath will '''always''' connect with an enemy and a {{MFamilies}} with less than 85 {{HP}} will be burnt to ashes in all instances. Even [[Shroud of Shadows|Zoma with his cloak of darkness]] will take damage from this spell's fire. | ||

When cast, the user alternates between breathing fire upon all foes, dealing 80~100 base damage, or slashing with massive claws for approximately 6~9 turns.

Puff! can be learned by [[Maya]] at level 80 and costs 137 MP to cast. When used, it heals a major amount of her HP, transforms her into a dragon and swaps her skill set so she can use [[Trample]] and [[Scorching Flame]] for 3 turns. Since it is a Coup de Grâce, it takes 2 turns to charge and can only be used once per battle. Upgrading the ability reduces the amount of MP it costs to use. Puff! also serves as her Dragon form's base perk where she takes 30% less damage and nullifies certain status problems when they inflict her in that form. | Puff! can be learned by [[Maya]] at level 80 and costs 137 {{MP}} to cast.
