Animal Magnetism's success calculations are a little more involved than most DQ algorithms from the earlier period in the series. The success rate is based on the Denominator of a monster's base recruitment rate, subtracting the character's Monster masher rank. For reference, the modifiers for each rank are:

Vocation rank	Modifier
1	0
2	1
3	2
4	8
5	16
6	16
7	16
8	32

The table below compares the base recruitment chances against the rank modifiers for easier reading. Keep in mind that the skill can be used up to five times on a single monster, effectively making all monsters 100% tameable save for the six that have a 1/256 base.

Recruit rate	Vocation rank	New rate
1/4	2	1/3
1/8	3	1/6
1/16	4	1/8
1/32	4	1/24
1/64	5	1/48
1/128	8	1/96
1/256	8	1/224
