'''Zoom''' (ルーラ, Rūra, Ruler), is a recurring spell in the {{DQSeries}} that allows for instantaneous transportation to previously visited locales.

The amount of {{MP}} it costs tends to change from game to game, but the functionally remains the same.
Traditionally, Zoom couldn't be used indoors, but this switched starting from {{DQ11}}.

==={{DQ2}}===
Costs 6 MP, and lets the player teleport to the last place where [[Spell of Restoration]] was generated.
In the NES localization, or Super Famicom and GameBoy Color versions, it was replaced to the last saved place.

Starting from the mobile phone version, it turned into the effect of later games where the player chooses where to teleport to. Also, on mobile phone release it costs 19 MP. And starting from startphone versions, it costs 1 MP.

The Hero can learn it in battle with the use of a [[List of glitches in Dragon Quest III#Companion overload glitch|glitch]], though to use it prevents the spell from being learned in the field.

===={{DQ3HD}}====
Uses 0 MP and is used to return to any possible visited location already.

The {{Hero 5}} learns Zoom after helping [[Prof. Toilen Trubble]] with his research in the town of [[Zoomingale]], and this event is required to advance the plot. None of the other {{Party 5}} members that can learn the spell are encountered until after this.

==={{DQ6}}===
Costs 1 MP and lets the player return to any previously visited location in the current world the player is.

==={{DQ9}}===
Costs 0 MP to use for the first time in the series. It is learned by {{Hero 9}} through the story after having returned to The [[Observatory]] and having interacted with [[Yggdrasil]].

==={{DQ10}}===
Zoom isn't present in itself in the game. Instead, the player will use specific items called [[Zoomstone]]s. Each Zoomstone can be assigned to one specific location, and the player can use those stones to warp to those locations.
More stones are received as the player progresses through the game, through the likes of story progression or side-quests, for example.
Once a certain point of the story is reached, a quest can be completed to obtain a Mega Zoomstone, which initially allows travel to any of the major locations to each of the five continents of Astoltia.
Later in the story, the Mega Zoomstone can be upgraded to a Bazoomstone, which lets the player travel to even more locations, and allows for indoors traveling.

===={{DQ10|Off}}====
Like on Online, Zoom isn't present in itself in the game, and the player will receive a [[Zoomstone]].
However, the player will only receive one [[Zoomstone]], although it can register as many locations as possible. Thus, it functionally works as if the player directly had Zoom.

==={{DQ11}}===
Costs 0 MP to use, and is learned by {{Hero 11}} through story progression, after the events of [[Hotto]]. Starting from this game, the spell can also be used indoors.

==={{DQTact}}===
Zoom can be learned by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|Scion of Erdrick]] through his Character Builder and costs 40 {{MP}} to cast. It transports the {{Hero 1}} to the selected space with a range of up to 5 spaces away from his current position. Although it can only be cast one time per battle. Upgrading the spell reduces the amount of {{MP}} it costs to cast.

==={{DQDai}}===
Zoom is not learned through a magical contract like standard spells. Instead [[Matoriv]] teaches [[Popp]] to cast Zoom by releasing magical energy from his entire body while picturing a destination. In addition to a means of fast travel like in the games, short-range Zooms can also be used for tactical repositioning in battle. [[Dai]] later learns to cast Zoom as well, and "Hero of the North" [[Nova]] can cast it at his introduction. It is also a common spell among Dark King [[Vearn]]'s higher-ranking subordinates.

If the user casts Zoom while distracted or not thinking of a destination, they will subconsciously travel to a place of emotional significance. This includes [[Popp]] attempting to transport [[Maam]] with Zoom only to worry about her leaving the party and arrive at the forest where they first met, and later a distraught Dai using a blind Zoom and arriving at the place where he first met his father.

With sufficient practice, this technique can refined into the flight spell [[Levizoom]].

==={{DQTAoD}}===
Zoom is a technique in which a spellcaster (typically a [[Mage]], [[Sage]] or {{Hero V}}) releases mana from their entire body, surrounding them in a white aura and causing them to fly at high speed towards a location they are familiar with. Aside from being a means of fast travel, short-range Zoom spells can also be used for quick repositioning in combat.

A caster with sufficient mastery of Zoom can perform the [[Levizoom]] (JP: ''Toberuura'') technique, which allows slower, fully-controllable flight and does not require calling a spell name.

==={{SSB5}}===
Zoom is one of the spells that can be used by the {{Hero Smash}} through his Down special, Command Selection. This costs 8 {{MP}} to use, and allows the Hero to quickly fly back to the main platform of the stage, provided he isn't obstructed by a ceiling overhead. Compared to the {{Hero Smash}}'s up-special attack ([[Woosh]], which can be further charged-up to [[Swoosh]] and [[Kaswoosh]]), Zoom provides a greatly increased vertical-recovery distance and a period of invincibility with a much lower {{MP}} cost than [[Kaswoosh]], but has the notable downsides of not damaging opponents, the ascent being followed by a swift and uncontrollable descent with very little horizontal movement, and the inherent unreliability of the Command Selection menu's randomly-chosen options. However, if the {{Hero Smash}} is close to the blast line, the chance of Zoom appearing in the command list is tripled.

==Trivia==
*A common gag with Zoom is that using the spell indoors will cause the user to hit their head on the ceiling, making them plummet straight back down.
**This gag is also featured in {{SSB5}}, where casting Zoom indoors or below a hard platform will cause the same thing to happen. 

==Notes==
*Chapters 55 and 56 of ''[[Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken]]'' elaborate on the ''Ruura'' spell and explain it as the ability to go to a place if you can form an image of it in your mind.
*In {{V}}, it's suggested that transporting too many people with this spell at once causes physical strain or even unconsciousness, as the {{Hero 5}} blacks out after transporting the wedding entourage to [[Pontoon and Ventuno|Ventuno]] [[Casino]] [[Ship]].
