Sizz: Difference between revisions

|romaji = gira

'''Sizz''' is a spell in the {{DQSeries}}. It is the premier offensive spell, introduced in the original ''[[Dragon Quest]]'', and is often learned by [[Mage|Magi]] and other practitioners of offensive magic.

Up until '''[[Dragon Quest III]]''', Sizz was a single fireball that attacks a single enemy. Ever since then, Sizz is now depicted as a line of fire that attacks a group of enemies; [[Frizz]] would now take Sizz's place as a single fireball that hits one enemy. The flames intensify and movements grow more elaborate as the spell line advances.

Sizz is one of the two damaging spells in the game.

Sizz may fail to deal damage depending on the enemy's resistance to fire spells.

The targets' resistances to fire spell affects the damage dealt, rather than the chance of this spell missing.

==={{DQ6}}===

Sizz is learned by [[Ashlynn]] at level 6, and is already known by [[Mercury]] upon joining. Other characters can learn it by advancing to rank 2 of the [[Mage]] vocation.

Sizz is learned immediately upon becoming a Mage in all versions of the game.

Sizz is learned by both The {{Hero 8}} and [[Jessica]] at level 11. It deals an average of 16~24 damage and will increase in power once the character's [[wisdom]] surpasses 40, capping at 29~35 once they reach 70 wisdom.

==={{DQ9}}===

Sizz and its advanced incarnations do not appear in ''Dragon Quest IX'', though their effects can be replicated by use of weapons such as the [[Cautery Sword]].

The Sizz line returns as a spell family exclusive to [[Dancer]]s, who learn the first spell at level 14 and can cast if for 3 MP. Damage calculation is ''Magical Might x 0.25 + 7'' with a cap of 80~90 and an in-game spread of 6 meters.

[[Veronica (Dragon Quest XI)|Veronica]] joins the party having already mastered sizz, and The {{Hero 11}} will learn it at level 8. It costs 3 MP to cast and will deal 12~20 base damage with a cap of 28~36.

Called Firebal in this game, this ability can be learned by a variety of monsters. It requires the monster to reach level 3 with 11 MP and 23 intelligence. It grows into [[Firebane]] when the monster reaches level 10 with 34 MP, and 52 intelligence. It is naturally learned by the [[1EyeClown]], [[AgDevil]], [[DracoLord]], [[EvilBeast]], [[Eyeder]], [[FloraMan]], [[Goategon]], [[Gremlin]], [[JewelBag]], [[KingLeo]], [[LizardFly]], [[MadCondor]], [[Pteranod]] and [[Slime]].

Firebal now requires 42 intelligence to learn and 94 intelligence to upgrade. It is naturally learned by the [[Anemon]], [[Belzebub]], [[Darck]], [[FoxFire]], [[Gamanian]], [[Hargon]] and [[RayGigas]], among others.

Sizz can be learned by Maya for 4 skill points and costs 5 MP to cast. It is the main spell that she can cast in battle. When used, she creates a column of fire that launches in front of her. Maya can upgrade the spell and also cast Sizzle and Kasizz by charging up Sizz.

Sizz is available to the [[Hero (Super Smash Bros.)|Hero]] through his Command Selection ability. It costs 8 MP to cast, and sends a small swirl of flames horizontally outwards that will ignite the ground beneath a foe on contact. The initial flare will deal 13.5% damage.

==Enemy versions==

In ''II'', the spell hits for 8~16 in all versions, and targets all three luminaries in the mobile version onwards. In ''III'' sizz singes all characters for 10~18 damage. This range would remain consistent up until ''VIII''. In that title the spell hits for 8~14 points.
