Sages and [[Demon Swordsman|Demon swordsmen]] will learn Kazam upon reaching level 64, and it costs 14 MP to cast. Damage is calculated as ''(Magical ~~might~~ - 340) × 0.39 +155~169'' for a base range of 156~168 and a maximum range of 340~354. When the caster's ~~magical might~~ exceeds 999 then the calculation is modified to ''(Magical might - 999) /4 + 414~428'' for a limit of 539-553 achieved through liberal application of buff effects.

Kazam has the same MP cost and damage ranges as in the previous two games.

==={{DQM3}}===

Kazam costs 10 MP and is learned through the [[Agent Provocateur]], [[Dark Horse]], [[Demoniac]], [[Impactor]], [[Pyrotechnician]], and [[Zam Virtuoso]] talents. It has a base power of 155 and will deal an average of 345 damage at 999 Wisdom.

}}

Kazam is the second tier spell of [[Psaro (Character)|Psaro]], skipping over Zammle in this game, and can be learned by investing 8 skill points. After charging his [[Zam]] spell for a short time, Psaro will plant his sword into ground and unleashes a wide shockwave of dark lightning in front of him for 14 MP. It has a slight gravitational pull, attempting to bring any nearby targets closer to the center of the explosion.

*Psaro also casts Kazam against the party when he is faced as a boss during Quest #90: "A Monstrous Apparition". He will telegraph the attack when he plants his sword into the ground, while an orb of dark energy charges in front of him and a red magic circle surrounds Psaro. It takes a few seconds to charge and Psaro is stationary while he is casting it, giving players an opportunity to land a few hits on him or move out of the way of its blast radius.

Kazam launches an enormous blast of evil energy that homes in on the nearest target, dealing severe Dark-element damage. It costs 18 MP to cast and is learned by [[Dracky|Drackies]], [[Shadow minister]]s, [[Sham hamwitch]]s, and [[Umbra]]s.
