'''Kazapstrophe''' is a Lightning-element spell that requires the cooperation of the whole party to cast.

==Localization history==

~~Kazapstrophe is the current English name of the Japanese ミナデイン~~, ~~which had previously been localized as~~ [[Kazapple]] ~~in the fourth through seventh mainline~~ games~~. The Kazapple name would simultaneously be used in the~~ ''~~Joker~~'' ~~and~~ ''~~Joker 2~~'' ~~entries of the~~ ''~~[[Dragon Quest Monsters (series)|Dragon Quest Monsters spin-offs]]~~'' to ~~refer~~ to ~~ジゴデイン,~~ the ~~highest-ranking Lightning spell in those titles,~~ of ~~which ミナデイン did not appear~~.

This spell was originally named Kazapple. However, there was another fourth-tier lightning spell called [[Kazapple]] on other games, which is actually ジゴデイン ''Jigodein'' in the original Japanese naming.

On {{DQ11}}, as both ''Minadein'' and ''Jigodein'' were present, they decided to name this one Kazapstrophe instead to lessen the confusion of two spells with the same name.

The Kazapple name would be applied once more to ミナデイン in the second ''Heroes'' game, thereafter it would be reserved for ジゴデイン to match the ka- and -le naming convention used by the other spell families. With both ミナデイン and ジゴデイン appearing in the eleventh mainline game, the localized name of Kazapstrophe was invented to separate the two spells in English.

==Appearances==

==={{DQ4}}===

Kazapple is learned by the {{Hero 4}} at level 37 and deals 330~350 Lightning damage to one foe, requires 15 {{MP}} from every party member to cast. As such, it cannot be used if [[Alena]], [[Ragnar McRyan]], or [[Torneko Taloon]] are in the {{Party 4}}.

==={{DQ5}}===

Kazapple is learned by {{Parry}} at level 38, and by the {{Conkuistador R}} at level 60. It costs every party member 10 MP to cast but as [[Tuppence]] is the only human character to lack MP the requirements are much less strict for most party configurations. Because Parry cannot equip the [[duplic hat]] in the {{SFC}} version, the spell cannot be echoed.

==={{DQ6}}===

Kazapple is learned by reaching rank 8 of the [[Hero (vocation)|Hero vocation]], the Legend. The power has been double to 600~700 and costs every party member 10 MP as in before. Unlike in {{V}}, all human characters gain MP and thus the player is not limited by his or her party configuration. Kazapple has the quickest activation speed of any ability in the game, activating before [[Kaclang]] and [[Forbearance]]. The spell will only echo with the duplic hat in the original {{SFC}} version.

==={{DQ7}}===

Kazapple has all the parameters of the previous game, but due to the presence of powerful skills such as [[Blade of Ultimate Power]] it is sub-optimal to use in battle.

==={{DQ10}}===

ミナデイン appears briefly during the story of the fourth expansion of the game.

===''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road]]''===

ミナデイン has two versions, one for the Luminaries of the Legendary line seen in {{DQ2}} and another for the Chosen of {{DQ4}}. In first version the three cousins are shown entering the scene by riding upon [[Empyrea]]'s back, with the [[Prince of Midenhall]] channeling the power of the [[thunderbolt blade]] to contribute. There are two versions of the latter for the male and female {{Hero 4}}, with [[Healie]] aiding [[Ragnar]] by donating his MP. {{Psaro C}} is also present in the group, but refuses to assist and merely observes.
