Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies[edit | edit source]
Divine Intervention is learned by sages at level 13. It costs 4 MP to cast, and as the spell equivalent of Spooky Aura it uses the same resistance check when success probability is calculated. If the caster's magical might is lower of equal to 50 the spell has a 50% accuracy, and one the threshold is breached the spell will reach 75% accuracy at 799 magical might.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age[edit | edit source]
Serena learns anathematise at Level 19 and Rab at 23. It costs 4 MP to cast, and will lower a monster's spell resistance by 25%. The spell has a base accuracy of 50%, and will reach 75% if the lass' and lord's Magical Might is 799. Because Serena never develops that stat naturally, equipment boosts and several Seeds of thereapeusis to get the most out of this ability.
