Puff! is learned by both [[Mage]]s and [[Sage]]s at level 34. 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.

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. | ||
Damage output depends on the foe's resistance to fire, differentiating the seminal spell from its subsequent appearances. 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. | Damage output depends on the foe's resistance to fire, differentiating the seminal spell from its subsequent appearances.

Puff! is learned by Mages and Sages at level 37 if their wisdom exceeds 182 points. It costs 24 MP and deals 170~180 Fire damage to all enemies for 3~4 turns. Puff! gives the caster a strong resistance to Fire and Explosions and a weak resistance to Ice, [[Whack]], [[Blasto]], [[Deceleratle]], and being stunned. The stats are changed to 292 Attack, 358 Defence, and 167 agility; as before the attack stat is meaningless. | |||
The flames spewed by Puff! work on the [[metal slime family]] despite their immunity to all other forms of Fire damage as a homage to the tried and true method of level grinding from 1988. | |||

The transformation takes effect immediately in this installment, immolating all foes with flames for 65~85 damage for 6~9 turns.

The caster also gains an immunity to [[Sizz]]-family spells and fire breath while transformed, but will lose other natural resistances as well, such as the [[powie yowie]]'s Ice immunity. Stats will not change this time, though the claw slash damage is calculated differently. Instead of increasing the raw attack of the caster, the transformed state adds 60 points of damage after normal calculations, meaning that all metal slimes will be slain in one strike. | ||
