==Localization history==
==Localization history==
The name Zap was first used as the term for ''Raidein'', the weakest lightning spell, in the {{NES}} localization of the third game and this was carried forward through the [[Enix]] of America era and then into the modern period by [[Square Enix]]'s new editorial standards beginning with {{Dragon Quest VIII}}. A discrepancy had emerged between the English and Japanese versions as early as [[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker]], however. This is due to the presence of the ''Dein'' spell, which was first appeared in the original {{DQMSeries}} spin off title under the name ''Bolt'' and had not yet appeared in a mainline game at the time. ''Dein'' is a weaker lightning spell whose nomenclature is the diminutive form of ''Raidein''. Because the English word zap cannot be simplified further as its Japanese counterpart was, the localization team instead redubbed ''Raidein'' as [[Zapple]] to reflect it's new status as the mid-tier lightning spell.

In localizations of older titles, such as the [[Nintendo DS]] release of the entire [[Zenithia trilogy]], Zap was retained as the English equivalent to Raidein.

Zap is learned when a character reaches rank 4 of the [[Hero (vocation)|Hero]] vocation, rank 8 of the [[Delusionist (vocation)|Delusionist]], and rank 5 of the [[Slaughtomaton (vocation)|Slaughtomaton]] monster vocations. As expected, it behaves as it did two games ago.

The spell will jolt all enemies with 40~56 points of lightning damage, and will grows in power once the Hero's [[wisdom]] surpasses 65.

The first appearance of the Dein spell, first localized by [[Enix]] of America as Bolt. It deals 30~50 lightning damage for 3 {{MP}}. Learning the spell mandates that a monster be at level 6 with 20 max {{MP}} and 35 {{Intelligence}}. Bolt can be learned naturally by [[Balzack|Balzak]], [[Nokturnus|Darkdrium]], [[Metal king slime|MetalKing]], [[Nimzo|Mirudraas]], and [[Wight king (Dragon Quest V)|WhiteKing]]. Bolt will naturally evolve into Zap and later Thordain as the {{MFamilies}} levels up.

Zap appears as the {{Hero Smash}}'s side special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is a quick, short-ranged electrical attack that costs 8 {{MP}} to cast and features a disjointed hitbox, meaning that it cannot be reflected. Holding the special button down will charge the move into [[Zapple]] and then [[Kazap]].

Monsters first learned to cast Zap in {{VII}}, where it dealt the standard 70~90 range. The foe's version of the spell would always mirror the [[Hero]] version from hence onwards, making it very dangerous as scant few pieces of equipment reduce electricity's power in the entire series. In {{X}}, Zap appears as an enemy-only spell that can be cast by various {{MFamilies}}s, including [[Cumaulus]], [[Goodybag]], and [[Lethal armour]] and deals approximately 10~19 lightning damage to the target and anyone nearby, making it more equivalent to [[Woosh]].
