Heal

From Dragon Quest Wiki
(Redirected from Hoimi)

Heal is a recurring spell in the Dragon Quest series.

As its name suggests, it functions to restore the HP of the character it is used on. As the seminal spell of the franchise, Heal is almost always the first spell learned by the Hero/Heroine in their adventure. It is related to the more powerful spells Midheal, Moreheal, Megaheal, Multiheal, Fullheal, and Omniheal.

Heal and its variations are commonly learned by Priests and the game's Hero.

Certain monsters (e.g. a Healslime) can also know this spell, with more powerful palette swaps knowing improved versions of the spell.

Heal restores 30~40 HP for 3 MP, and is learned by the following characters:

Name Level
Hero 4
Priest 2
Sage 2

Heal is automatically learned by one who is a Priest from the beginning, but those who become a Priest or Sage in the Alltrades Abbey need to advance one level to learn it. In the mobile port, this is changed so that anyone who becomes a Priest or Sage automatically knows the spell at level 1.

The Hero can learn it much sooner for use in battle in the NES Version if a glitch is exploited in Patty's Party Planning Place where too many companions are registered, though it will prevent The Hero from being able to learn it for use on the world map.

The spell can cause damage to Zoma after the Sphere of Light is used on him.

The enemies Bag o' laughs, Mushroom mage, and Healslime can use this spell to heal themselves or their allies.
