'''Magic water''' is a rather rare healing item in the {{DQSeries}}. As the vials were originally only found in [[treasure chest]]s and occasionally dropped by {{MFamilies}}s, it is important to stockpile them for the most dangerous segments of a journey, such as when the [[party]] has reached the lowest level of the dungeon with the knowledge that a potentially deadly boss is up ahead.

In modern titles, these glass bottles are far less rare, usually even purchasable near the end-game in more mystical locations. This change in scarcity is likely to reflect the substantial stat limit boosts characters have experienced since {{VI}}.

==Appearances==
==={{DQ4}}===
In the original {{NES}} version of the game, sipping the scintillating water will restore 10~15 {{MP}}. In all other versions, it restores 30~35 {{MP}} and can be used on allies. Vials of Magic water can be purchased from [[Endor]]'s [[Casino]] for 30 [[token]]s each. They can also be dropped by [[Bedbug]]s, [[Flyguy]]s, [[Dirty dogu]]s, [[Mushroom mage]]s, and [[Dangler fish]].

Others may be found in:
*The [[Vrenor]] Vault
*[[Canalot]]
*The second half of [[Mamon Mine]]
*[[Pharos Beacon]]
*Stage three of the [[Pioneer Town]]

==={{DQ5}}===
The water restores 10~15 {{MP}} in all versions of the game. In remake versions of the game, it can be purchased from the shop on [[Pontoon and Ventuno|Ventuno]]'s TnT Board for 120 {{Gold}} and sold for 60 {{Gold}}. They can be dropped by [[Prestidigitator (Dragon Quest V)|Prestidigitator]]s, [[Legerdeman (Dragon Quest V)|Legerdemen]], [[Wisp-o'-smoke|Wisps-o'smoke]], [[Wizened wizard]]s, [[Revaulting horse]]s, [[Wyrtoise]]s, [[Dwight]], and [[Magman]].

Other vials can be found in:
*[[Abovitall Tower]]
*[[Hay]]
*[[Zoomingale]]
*[[Knightmare Towers]]
*The [[Diggery Pokery]]
*The [[Nadiria]] TnT board

==={{DQ6}}===
When used in battle the water will restore the typical 10~15 {{MP}}, but while on the move it will restore 40~50 {{MP}}. Magic water appears once again as a [[Casino]] prize in [[Port Haven]] for 200 [[token]]s each.

Other locations where one can find the fantastic fluids are:
*[[Sorceria]]
*The [[Amor]] cavern
*The [[Underkeep]]
*The [[Mobile Island]]
*The water section of the [[Isle of Murdaw]]
*The Spiegelspire

==={{DQ7}}===
Similar to {{IV}}, the vials will restore 10~15 in the original and 40~50 in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake. Once again, they can be purchased as a [[Casino]] prize at [[Pilgrim's Rest]] for 200 [[token]]s each. It can also be won as a prize from the Lucky Panel starting from the [[Casino]] at [[Pilgrim's Rest]] in the present. In the original [[Sony PlayStation]] version, Magic water can be purchased from the Cathedral evolution of [[The Haven|Immigrant Town]] for 200 {{Gold}} and sold for 100. They can also be dropped by [[Clawcerer]]s, [[Shaman]]s, [[Conkjurer]]s, and [[Dirty dogu]]s. In the {{3DS}} version, they can also be found regularly in [[treasure chest]]s and dropped by bosses in [[Traveller's Tablet]]s.

More vials can be found in:
*[[Emberdale]] (past and present)
*[[Roamer Encampment]] (past)
*[[Poolside Cave]] (past)
*[[Pilgrim's Rest]] (present)
*Near [[La Bravoure]] ({{3DS}} version only)
*[[Temple Palace]] (present)
*Near [[Gröndal]] (Past, {{3DS}} version only)
*[[Inside the Time Frame]] (past)
*[[Providence]] (past)
