'''Drain Magic''' is a recurring spell in the {{DQSeries}}. It absorbs {{MP}} from the target, and is the weaker version of the multi-targeting [[Giga Drain Magic]].

==Appearances==
==={{DQ3}}===
Drain Magic leeches 5~11 {{MP}} from a single enemy, and is learned by [[Mage]]s and [[Sage]]s at level 15.

[[mimic]]s, [[pandora's box]]es, and [[voodoogooder]]s use this spell against the {{Party 3}}.

==={{DQ3HD}}===
Drain Magic is learned by Mages and Sages at level if their wisdom exceeds 51 points. It drains 5~10 MP from a single foe.

==={{DQ4}}===
Drain Magic is learned by [[Borya]] at level 25 and by [[Maya Mahabala]] at level 16. It functions exactly as it did in the previous game in the {{NES}} version, but follows the ''(Lvl/4)+5'' algorithm set by later games in all remakes and subsequent ports.

The enemies [[bloody blade]], [[mimic]], [[pandora's box]], and [[voodoo gooroo]] can use this spell against the {{Party 4}}.

==={{DQ5}}===
Absorbs 5~11 {{MP}} in all versions, and is learned by the following characters:
{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" border="1"
!style="background:#77479B; color: white;"|Name
!style="background:#77479B; color: white;"|Level
|-
|{{King cureslime R}}||--
|-
|{{Slime knight R}}||--
|-
|{{Prestidigitator R}}||15
|-
|{{Dracky R}}||20
|-
|[[Dwight]]||25
|-
|[[Sancho]]||25
|-
|{{Man o' war R}}||40
|}

[[cannibox]] and [[mimic]] use it as enemies against the {{Party 5}}.

==={{DQ6}}===
Drain Magic is learned by [[Ashlynn]] at level 14, and by [[Goowain]] at level 3. Other characters can learn it by advancing to rank 6 of the [[Mage]] vocation. The algorithm changes considerably this time around, and the amount drained from an enemy is calculated as ''(Lvl/4)+5''.

The enemies [[disgustling]], [[cannibox]], and [[mimic]] use this spell against the {{Party 6}}.

==={{DQ7}}===
Drain Magic is learned at rank 1 of the [[Sage]] vocation, rank 4 of the [[Champion]], and rank 1 of the [[Druid]].
The spell has been nerfed in the remake, using the formula of drained {{MP}} = 5~11 instead of {{VI}}'s formula.

It can be cast by the enemies [[Putric Stinkenheimer]], [[pandora's box]], and [[grimoire]] against the {{Party 7}}.

==={{DQ8}}===
Drain Magic is learned by [[Angelo]] once he invests 12 points into his Staff skill. The formula is ''(Lvl/4)+5'' once again.
*In the {{3DS}} version, [[Red]] learns Drain Magic at level 40.

[[Pandora's box]]es, [[magic dumbbell]]s, and [[crayzee]]s can use this spell against the party.

==={{DQ9}}===
Though not available to player characters, it is used by a number of spell-casting enemies. Each enemy also has a specific amount drained, with no random aspect as seen in previous games.
*[[Master of Nu'un]]: 6 {{MP}}
*[[Shivery shrubbery]]: 7 {{MP}}
*[[Bloody manguini]]: 8 {{MP}}
*[[Slugly betsy]]: 20 {{MP}}
*[[Tyrannosaurus Wrecks]]: 20 {{MP}}
*[[Pandora's box]]: 25 {{MP}}

==={{DQ10}}===

==={{DQ11}}===
{{Veronica 11}} and [[Rab]] will learn Drain Magic at levels 24 and 28 respectively. The spell's formula this time is now dependent on {{Magical Might}} instead of level, with a stat range of 111~900 and drain range of 2. What this means is that a character with less than 111 {{Magical Might}} will drain 3~7 {{MP}} per use, and a character with 900 will drain 32~36 {{MP}}. The spell costs 0 {{MP}} to cast.

==={{DQM}}===
Known as '''RobMagic''' in this game, this spell can be learned by a variety of {{MFamilies}}s. It requires the {{MFamilies}} to reach at least level 7, with at least 32 max {{MP}}, and 28 {{INT}}. It grows into [[Absorb Magic|TakeMagic]] when the {{MFamilies}} reaches level 13 with at least 58 {{MP}} and 52 {{Intelligence}}. It is naturally learned by the [[Beanie meanie|beanman]], [[dracky]], [[Walking stick|gohopper]], [[Ornery onion|oniono]], [[Erazor blade|sabreman]] and [[WeedBug|weedbug]], among others.

==={{DQM2}}===
RobMagic now requires 51 {{MP}} to learn and 94 {{Intelligence}} to upgrade. It is naturally learned by the [[Thaumatosaurus|aquadon]] and [[GhosTree|ghostree]].

==={{DQMCH}}===

==={{DQMJ}}===
Drain Magic can be learned from various skill trees.
*[[Mage Aid]] (4 points)
*[[Nightmare (skill)|Nightmare]] (4 points)
*[[Rhapthorne (skill)|Rhapthorne]] (4 points)
*[[Seal]] (11 points)
*[[Über Charmer]] (25 points)

==={{DQMJ2}}===
Drain Magic can no longer be learned from [[Seal]]. It can now be learned from [[Stormsgate Citadel (skill)|Stormsgate Citadel]] for 10 points.

Drain Magic has a fixed success chance of 80% and costs no MP, with the amount drained being ''(Level/2) + 5~10'' with the utmost limit being 250 when factoring in the target's vulnerability to being siphoned. It is learned through the [[Antimagician]], [[Charmer (Talent)|Charmer]], [[Dark Artist]], [[Magic Maven]], [[Nature Child]], [[Paramedic]], and [[Tongue Twister]] talents.

==={{DQH2}}===
Drain Magic can be cast by [[Lazarel]] and [[Teresa]] if they are wielding a [[Heavy Wand (weapon type)|heavy wand]]. It draws a magic circle in front of the caster that steals {{MP}} of any {{MFamilies}}s that enter it. By holding down the button, the range of the spell can be changed with the analog stick. In this game, {{MFamilies}}s do not have a set amount of {{MP}} so it can be drained indefinitely as much as desired.

The amount of {{MP}} drained is 3 at basic proficiency, with the amount increasing to 6 {{MP}} at level 9 heavy wand proficiency. More {{MP}} is drained if more {{MFamilies}}s enter the magic circle.
