'''Kacrackle''' is a recurring ice spell in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'']] series, typically the most powerful. Introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'', it originally hit a single group of enemies with fierce ice damage, but starting with ''[[Dragon Quest V]]'', it lacerates ''all'' enemies with enormous crystals.

In the Japanese games, ''Mahyado'' was replaced as the strongest ice spell in the Joker series of games by ''Mahyadedosu'' and eventually introduced in the main series of games starting with Dragon Quest IX. In the English versions of the games, Kacrackle was kept as the name of the strongest ice spell, while ''Mahyado'' would be translated as Kacrack in order to maintain its position as the second strongest ice spell in the game.

Kacrackle is learned by a [[mage]] at level 26 in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|original version]] due to a glitch, and at level 32 in all subsequent remakes. Deals between 88~112 points of damage and costs 12 MP to cast, paralleling [[Kasizzle]]. In the NES version of Dragon Warrior III, it is called Snowstorm, while in the Game Boy version it is called Blizzard.

Kacrackle damages a group of foes for 88~112 damage, and costs 11 MP to cast. It is learned by [[Borya]] at level 32.  [[Psaro (Character)|Psaro]] starts out with this spell upon joining. In the NES version of Dragon Warrior IV, it is called Blizzard.

Due to the removal of [[Kacrack]] from the spell list, kacrackle's range has been increased to target all foes on screen. In exchange, the damage range has been reduced slightly to 80~104. It is learned by the following playable characters and costs 12 MP to cast.

==={{DQ6}}===

This spell is learned by advancing to rank 6 of the [[Sage]] vocation and exhibits the same traits as in the previous installment.

 

 

Kacrackle is learned by [[Jessica]] after an event, and is affected by her tension. Its base damage ranges from 65~85 before her [[wisdom]] hits 200, with a cap of 138~157 after her wisdom gets to 480. It costs 12 magic points to cast.

*In the 3DS port, the spell's base damage was increased to 72~92 and the maximum became 169~189; it takes 570 wisdom to reach this cap.

Learned by [[Mage]]s at level 68. Impales all enemies with giant shards of ice for 50 MP. Base damage is 165~204 prior to the caster's [[magical might]] reaching 550, and the cap is 490~530 at 999.

===''[[Dragon Quest X]]''===

Kacrackle can only be learned by magi investing 130 skill points into the Spellcraft skill tree and by [[Death Master]]s investing 180 points into their Reikan skill tree. It costs 24MP to cast, and damage is calculated as ''(Magical might - 400) x 0.71 + 362~402'' for a base damage of 310~350 and maximum range of 790~830. With considerable use of spell and skill buffs, the caster's magical might can be raised to 1,500 and the calculation changes to the following: ''(Magical might - 999) /3 + 790~830'' for a true maximum of of 957~997.

When the player chooses to cast Kacrackle, they select a single monster to target. This enemy can be within a range of 15 meters, and any other enemies within a proximity of 7 meters from the target will also be damaged by the spell--greater distance within the 7 meter range does not decrease damage inflicted.

[[Rab]] will learn kacrackle after mastering the ''Enlightenment'' skill tree. The spell is very expensive at 60 MP, but will deal 328~392 at its weakest and 688~752 once Row's magical might is high enough.

===''[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker]]''===

Kacrackle deals 190~210 base damage until the monster's wisdom hits 500, and will do 299~319 with max wisdom. It costs 36 MP to cast, and is learned from various skill trees.

* [[Crack & Zam | Crack & Zam III]] (64 points)

* [[Crack & Zap | Crack & Zap III]] (64 points)

* [[Ice | Ice III]] (90 points)

* [[Über Blessed Blizzardier]] (100 points)
