'''Disruptive Wave''' (originally '''DeMagic''') is a recurring skill in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'' as a monster-exclusive attack, it nullifies all stat changes, such as those caused by buffs (Kabuff, Oomph) and debuffs (Kasap, Deceleratle).

This isn't used as heavily by the story bosses (only [[King Godwyn]] and [[Corvus]] uses it). However, several of the grotto bosses and ''all'' the [[legacy boss]]es will use this ability.
This ability is learned with 42 skill points allocated into [[List of enlightenment skills in Dragon Quest IX|Enlightenment skill]]. It costs 10MP to cast.
 
It is worth noting that Disruptive Wave acts slightly different in this installment as it now only affects the opposition.
