Sizzle: Difference between revisions

'''Sizzle''' is a spell in the {{DQSeries}}. The spell will bake a group of enemies in a wave of hellfire, most commonly dealing 30~42 damage for 6 {{MP}}.

The {{Hero 1}} learns the spell at level 19, and may cast it for 5 {{MP}}. It deals 58~65 damage in the original version, and 50~65 damage in all subsequent versions. As combat was limited to one enemy per battle, it was a single-target spell.

The enemies [[Vis mager (Dragon Quest)|Vis mager]], [[Knight abhorrent]], and the first form of the [[Dragonlord]] can use this spell against the player.

The [[Prince of Cannock]] learns Sizzle at level 18, and he can cast it for just 4 {{MP}}. The spell deals 17~33 damage in the original version, and 50~65 in the {{Super Famicom}} and {{GBC}} versions.

In the smartphone and [[Nintendo Switch]] versions, the spell has been redacted to affect only one group of enemies, as in later games, and its cost has risen to '''5''' {{MP}}.

The enemies [[Batmandrill]], [[Silvapithecus]], [[Grimlin]], [[Liquid metal slime]], [[Sorcerer]], [[Whackolyte]] and [[Pazuzu]] can use this spell against the {{Party 2}}.

Sizzle is learned by the {{Hero 3}} at Level 23, and both [[Mage]]s & [[Sage]]s at Level 14. The spell's cost and damage parameters become established in this entry of the series, 30~42 for 6 {{MP}}, remaining consistent ever since.

The enemies [[Crone ranger]], [[Crone]], [[Garuda]], and [[Infanticore]] can use this spell against the {{Party 3}}.

==={{DQ4}}===

Sizzle is learned by [[Maya Mahabala]] at Level 14.  The {{Hero 4}}'s tutor planned to teach him the spell during the {{DQ4 Prologue}}, but never got around to it.

The enemies [[Beleth]], [[Metal king slime]], [[Voodoo gooroo]], and [[Psaro the Manslayer]] can use this spell against the {{Party 4}}.
