==Localization history==

~~The~~ name Zap was ~~first~~ used ~~as the term~~ for ~~''Raidein'',~~ the ~~weakest lightning~~ spell ~~at the time, in the {{NES}} localization~~ of the third game and this was carried forward through the [[Enix]] of America era and then into the modern period by [[Square Enix]]'s new editorial standards beginning with {{Dragon Quest VIII}}. A discrepancy had emerged between the English and Japanese versions as early as 2007 in {{Joker}}, ~~however. This is due to the presence of the~~ ''~~Dein~~'' ~~spell~~, ~~which was first appeared in the original {{Monsters S}} spin off title under the name ''Bolt'' and had not yet appeared in a mainline~~ game at the ~~time.~~ ''Dein'' ~~is the weakest lightning~~ spell ~~in the series~~, ~~whose nomenclature is~~ the ~~diminutive form of ''Raidein''. Because the English word~~ Zap ~~cannot be simplified further as its Japanese counterpart was, the localization team~~ instead ~~redubbed ''Raidein'' as~~ [[Zapple]] ~~to reflect it's new status as~~ the ~~mid-tier lightning~~ spell.

Originally, the name Zap was used for the next tier spell of that line, ライデイン ''Raidein''. However, with later game entries, they made the lower tier デイン ''Dein'' spell, and as such they moved the naming Zap to that spell instead. See [[Zapple]] for the spell that refers to ''Raidein''.

~~In localizations of older titles, such as the [[Nintendo DS]] release of the entire [[Zenithia trilogy]], Zap was retained as the English equivalent~~ to ~~Raidein. Raidein is translated as "Zapple" for~~ ''~~[[Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai]]~~'' ~~and its anime adaptation, but as "Zap" in some of their spinoff media (which extends to [[Raidein Strash]] being translated as both [[Zapple Strash]] and [[Zap Strash]])~~.

==Appearances==

~~==={{DQ3}}===~~

Zap is learned by {{Hero 3}} at level 26. The spell will damage a single enemy with between 70~90 damage, and will cost 8 {{MP}} to cast. [[Ortega]] also uses the spell in his fight with [[King Hydra]].

==={{DQ3HD}}===

Zap is learned by the Hero at level 14 if his or her wisdom exceeds 65 points. Zap costs 6 MP and deals up to 52~65 damage to one foe.

~~==={{DQ4}}===~~

Zap is learned by the {{Hero 4}} at level 25, though his tutor in [[Hidden Valley]] planned to teach him the spell sooner. The spell functions identically to its [[Aliahan]] counterpart, though it costs only 4 {{MP}} to cast.

~~Zap can be used by [[togre]]s for 70~90 damage.~~

~~==={{DQ5}}===~~

Zap's range improves from this installment. Specifically, the spell conjures a small lightning storm that targets all enemies instead of a single bolt. The spell costs a mere 6 {{MP}} to cast, and deals between 70 and 90 damage.

~~==={{DQ6}}===~~

~~Zap is learned by the {{Hero 6}} after his awakening. Other characters can learn it by advancing to rank 3 of the {{Hero V}} vocation. It behaves as it did in the previous game.~~

~~==={{DQ7}}===~~

Zap is learned when a character reaches rank 4 of the {{Hero V}} vocation, rank 8 of the [[Delusionist (vocation)|Delusionist]], and rank 5 of the [[Slaughtomaton (vocation)|Slaughtomaton]] {{MFamilies}} vocations. As expected, it behaves as it did two games ago.

~~It can be cast by the enemies [[nut knight]], [[ginormoose]], and [[togre]] for 70~90 damage.~~

~~==={{DQ8}}===~~

Zap is learned by investing 48 points into {{Eight}}'s Courage skill. The spell will jolt all enemies with 40~56 points of lightning damage, and will grows in power once {{Eight}}'s {{Wisdom}} surpasses 65. The spell will deal 72~88 damage (barring resistances) once the character's {{Wisdom}} reaches 150.

~~It is also used by the enemies [[Empyrea]], [[Statue of Hero]], and [[Head of state]] for 70~90 damage.~~
