Sizz: Difference between revisions

'''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.
