The Elfin charm is a recurring accessory in the Dragon Quest series that first appeared in Dragon Quest V. This medallion, blessed with elfin magic, protects the wearer against Snooze, Fuddle, Fizzle, and Whack by reducing the spells' accuracy by 75%. In later games, it also increases resistance against MP-draining effects and being stunned.
