'''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.

==Localization history==
==Localization history==
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.
On older iterations, the spell マヒャド ''Mahyado'' was called Kacrackle. However, with later games, as they added a higher-tier spell マヒャドデス ''Mahyadodesu'', the name Kacrackle went for this one instead.<br>
For past uses of Kacrackle, see [[Kacrack (Mahyado)]].

Kacrackle is a recurring ice spell in the Dragon Quest series, typically the most powerful.

Localization history[edit | edit source]

On older iterations, the spell マヒャド Mahyado was called Kacrackle. However, with later games, as they added a higher-tier spell マヒャドデス Mahyadodesu, the name Kacrackle went for this one instead.
For past uses of Kacrackle, see Kacrack (Mahyado).

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.
