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}}.

==={{DQ3}}===

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}} for 22~34 damage.

==={{DQ3HD}}===

Sizzle is learned by Mages and Sages at level 13, provided their wisdom exceeds 59 points, and by the Hero at level 18 if his or her wisdom is higher than 61 points. It costs 6 MP and deals up to 41~59 damage to one enemy group. As with all multi-targeting attack spells Sizzle's power is increased if it is used against a smaller number of foes, being 130% damage against a single monster, 120% against two monsters, and  110% damage when used on three monsters.

==={{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.
