'''Spooky Aura''' is an ability in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]] series that reduces an enemy's resistance to magic.
==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===
Spooky Aura is learned by several monster companions such as the [[rotten apple]]. Targets will have their resistances lowered by one level, turning the '''''100%, 80%, 33%, 0%''''' rates to '''''100%, 100%, 67%, 0%'''''. An enemy's resistance to the skill is shared with [[Whack]].

===''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''===
Spooky Aura is learned by advancing to rank 5 of the [[Luminary]] vocation. Again, its resistance parameter is shared with the Whack line of spells.
Due to status ailments and elemental damage using separate resistance rates, spooky aura modifies each independently.
For offensive spells, the percentages change from '''''100%, 70%, 40%, 0%''''' to '''''100%, 80%, 50%, 0%'''''.

For debilitating spells, '''''100%, 85%, 50%, 0%''''' becomes '''''100%, 100%, 75%, 0%'''''.

===''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''===
Still learned via Luminaries, the skill can also be picked up at rank 1 of the [[Prism peacock]] vocation. The skill operates exactly as it did in ''VI''.

===''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''===
This ability is learned with 26 skill points allocated into [[List of spellcraft skills in Dragon Quest IX|Spellcraft skill]]. It reduces a foe's resistance to magic (damage and ailments) by 25% when first cast, and once more when cast again. The ability has it's own resistance tag now, separate from any instant-death spells.

Maelstrom

{{Spell Infobox
|title = Maelstrom
|image = [[File:Maelstrom 3DS.jpg|250px]]
|japanese = メイルストロム
|romaji = Marustoromu
|old = Whirlpool
|type = Water
}}
'''Maelstrom''' is a powerful spell that first appeared in ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''. When conjured, it crushes a group of foes with a biblical deluge of water. It deals 120~150 damage for 12MP in all main series instances, even when used by foes.

Despite the spells' nautical nature, it actually uses the [[woosh]] attribute for resistance checks when cast by the player. When used by monsters, it carries no element at all and can only be weathered by donning the [[Bottlenose buckler]] and [[Saint's Equipment|Aeras shield]].

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===
Appearing only in the remakes, the spell is put to use by the menacing [[Croaked king]] and hits all party members.

===''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''===
In the original version, Maelstrom can only be learned by mastering the [[Pirate]] vocation. In the 3DS remake, it can now be learned by reaching rank 7 as a Pirate, rank 2 as a [[Druid]], and rank 5 as a [[Hero (Class)]]. Additionally, it can be used for free via the [[Sea Serpent Sabre]] sword.

===''[[Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below]]''===
[[Nera]] can use Maelstrom as one of her exclusive skills. It works as a vortex and crowd control ability, dealing no damage, but drawing in monsters for a while. Additionally, the vortex affects the flight pattern of Nera's Hubble Bubbles to draw them into the center.

Puff!

2018-10-07T01:11:48Z

97.80.49.65: /* Dragon Quest III */ Typo

{{Spell Infobox
|title = Puff!
|image = [[Image:DQ3 Spell Puff!.png|170px]]
|japanese = ドラゴラム
|romaji = Doragoramu
|type = Support
|old=Bedragon
}}
'''Puff!''' (formerly localized as ''BeDragon'') is a spell in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'']] series. It transforms the user into a massive dragon, during which they will automatically attack with deadly claws and assorted breath weapons until the effect wears off. It should not be confused with [[Puff-Puff]] (another thing '''entirely''').

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===
Puff! is learned by both [[mage|magi]] and [[sage]]s at level 34. It is worth noting that the flame breath used in the dragon form negates the defenses of metal monsters, instantly slaying any that linger long enough to be hit by it. The spell will also affect the caster's '''stats''', setting their agility to 62 and their defense to 75 for the remainder of the battle.

Damage output depends on the foe's resistance to fire, differentiating the seminal spell from its subsequent appearances. The possible damage output is 170~190, 136~151, 102~113, and 85~94.

===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===
Puff! is learned by [[Maya]] at level 30, and by [[Psaro|The hidden character]] at level 49. When cast, the user alternates between breathing fire upon all foes, dealing 80~100 base damage, or slashing with massive claws for approximately 6~9 turns. In the original version the flames would pierce the defences of metal slimes and deal 1 damage to each, but this property has been removed from the PSX remake (as well as later versions and games).

Caster stats change to 130 attack, 100 defence, and 55 agility. In the PSX remake and onwards, Maya will enjoy immunity to fire and [[Magic Burst]].

===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===
The transformation takes effect immediately in this installment, immolating all foes with flames for 65~85 damage for 6~9 turns. The caster also gains an immunity to [[Sizz]]-family spells and fire breath while transformed, but will lose other natural resistances as well, such as the Powie-Yowie's ice immunity. Stats will not change this time, though the claw slash damage is calculated differently. Instead of increasing the raw attack of the caster, the transformed state adds 60 points of damage after normal calculations, meaning that all metal slimes will be slain in one strike.

|[[Dracky/recruit|Dracky]]||38
|-

|}

[[Hero (Dragon Quest V)|The Hero]] and any other character can achieve the benefit of the spell through the use of the [[Dragon staff]] as an item in battle.

===''[[Dragon Quest VI]]''===
Puff! can only be obtained by mastering the [[Monster Master]] vocation.
Unlike in earlier installments, this transformation only uses [[Flame Breath]] and [[Chilly Breath]]. The effects of the spell last for the usual variable of turns, and the reintroduced stat modifications are an attack of 190, defence of 180, and an agility of 72 with attack evasion set to 0% regardless of equipment bonuses or other affects.

In the DS remake of ''VI'', the spell grants a strong (60%) resistance frizz, sizz, bang, crack, rock/strike and breath damage, and full immunity to fizzle, drain magic, fuddle, and ban dance. However, the character is now vulnerable to [[Dragon slash]].

===''[[Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past]]''===
Damage output and statistical alterations are identical to ''VI''. It can be learned by reaching rank 8 of the [[Monster Master|Monster Masher]] in the original and 6 in the 3DS remake, and at rank 6 of the [[Drake slime (Class)|Drake slime]]. In the 3DS version, transformed characters will take on the appearance of a [[Blue dragon]].

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters|Dragon Quest Monsters 1]] & [[Dragon Quest Monsters 2|2]]''===
Casting Puff raises a monster's HP to 999, MP to 300, attack to 300, defence to 200, and agility to 260. The transformed monster will alternate between a claw swipe, [[Inferno]], and [[Freezing Blizzard]].

===''[[Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below]]''===
Puff! appears as Maya's Coup de Grâce. When used, she transforms into a large purple dragon that razes anything in front of her with her fiery breath. Maya's dragon form is still wearing her jewelry.

==Etymology==
The word Puff is a reference to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puff,_the_Magic_Dragon Puff, the Magic Dragon], a song written by Leonard Lipton and Peter Yarrow in 1963.

'''Insulatle''', originally localized as '''Barrier''', is a recurring spell in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'' series]]. It decreases the damage dealt by [[Breath attack|breath]] attacks by 50% in nearly all instances.

==Appearances==
===''[[Dragon Quest III]]''===
Insulatle is learned by [[Priest]]s and [[Sage]]s at level 32, and costs 6 mp to cast. In the original version the spell will reduce damage by 33%, overriding any additional reductions provided by armour. This bug is fixed in all subsequent versions, and the spell will last 6~9 turns in all versions.

===''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''===
Insulatle is learned by [[Meena]] at level 29, and costs 6 of her magic points to cast. It reduces damage by 50%, setting the precedent for nearly all future appearances.

===''[[Dragon Quest V]]''===
Interestingly, Insulatle decreases breath damage by a massive '''70%''' in the original Super Famicom version. This is likely the reason why armour resistances are weaker than usual in ''V''.

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]''===
Insulatle (then Barrier) is learned by monsters beginning at level 18 if the monster has at least 76 MP and 70 Intelligence. It is learned naturally by [[AmberWeed]], [[KingSlime]], [[MistyWing]], [[WeedBug]], and [[WindMerge]]. [http://www.gamefaqs.com/gbc/197155-dragon-warrior-monsters/faqs/8160]
