Magic Barrier is a recurring spell in the Dragon Quest series.
It raises the magic resistance of the whole party in all appearances, with the accuracy of status ailment spells also being cut in the first three games.
Appearances[edit]
Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation[edit]
This spell is obtained by advancing to either Rank 5 of the Paladin Vocation or rank 7 of the Sage Vocation. Magical damage is cut by 25%, lasts until the end of battle, and costs 3 MP to cast. Ailment accuracy varies depending on the status itself, but each one is lowered by one stage regardless.
The enemies Splutterfly, Pudgedevil, and Stormsgate Citadel (boss) can use this spell.
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past[edit]
Magic Barrier is learned by reaching the same ranks as in the previous game in the PSX version, and also by reaching rank 4 pf the Monster Masher Vocation in the 3DS remake. The spell now lasts for 11~14 turns in either version.
It can be cast by the enemies Discombombulator, Cardinal Sin, The Time Being, Cumulus rex, Slaughtomaton, Gnumesis, and Orgodemir's first form in the first battle against him.
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit]
Jessica Albert will learn Magic Barrier after investing 31 skill points into her Staves. The spell operates as before, but will now only last for 6~9 turns.

Magic Barrier is learned by Sages at Level 38. It costs 6 MP to cast, increases resistance by 25% when first cast, 50% on the second application, and lasts for 6~9 turns. Magic Barrier now only affects spell damage, and this would continue in the following games.
