Frizz

Frizz Japanese メラ Rōmaji Mera Type Offensive Older names Blaze

Frizz is a recurring offensive spell in the Dragon Quest series. Introduced in Dragon Quest III, it is a single target spell (in contrast to group-searing Sizz) and is often learned by Magi.

It is depicted as a single fireball that attacks the enemy. With the powered-up versions of Frizz, the fireball grows larger and the damage is more devastating.

It can be charged up and turned into Frizzle and Kafrizz, much like Robin's Thunder tomes.

Enemy versions

The foe's fireball will deal 7~12 damage in its first appearance and stuck with that simmer until VIII, where it would weaken to 6~9 damage. Beginning with IX, frizz deals 7~10 damage.
