Frizz is a recurring offensive spell in the Dragon Quest series.

Introduced in Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation, it is a single target spell (in contrast to group-searing Sizz) and is often learned by Mages.

It is depicted as a single fireball that attacks the enemy. The advanced versions are Frizzle, Kafrizz, & Kafrizzle, with the fireball growing more colossal with each stage.

Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai

Frizz is a common attack spell among mages and the most basic of the fire element, launching a fist-sized fireball at an opponent.

Hadlar can imbue his Frizz with the ability to cling to its target like hellfire, making it a perfect counter to the temporary invulnerability of the Kaclang spell.

At the start of the series, Frizz is the strongest offensive spell in Dai's repertoire. However, lacking much talent for magic without his Dragon Crest he is unable to propel it towards his target, forcing him to physically punch the fireball instead. After Dai gains the ability to imbue spells into his attacks, he would largely stop using Frizz outside of the Fire Earth Slash technique, with the Hero-exclusive Zapple spell taking its place as his main form of magical attack.

In Demon King Vearn's first encounter with the heroes he demonstrates a fire spell many times more powerful than anything else seen in the series, exploding into enormous firestorms capable of incinerating normally fireproof materials in an instant. Popp reacts with disbelief that Vearn's ultimate Kafrizz spell could be so much stronger than his own, only for Vearn to deliver one of his most infamous lines: "That was not Kafrizz. That was Frizz.".

Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai: A Hero's Bonds

Frizz appears as a spell for Popp and the Luminary Leader. It is a long-range attack that inflicts magical Fire damage over a small area. It is already known by Popp in his Dermline Dress outfit and can be unlocked by obtaining the Rune Staff from Treasure Hunts.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Frizz appears as the Hero's neutral special move in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and costs 6 MP to cast. It is a quick, but weak, fireball that travels forward and deals 9% damage upon impact. The heat of the spell dissipates the further it travels, singing for only 6% at it's longest range before snuffing out altogether. It can be charged up and turned into Frizzle and Kafrizz, much like Robin's Thunder tomes.

Enemy versions

The foe's fireball will deal 7~12 damage in its first appearance and stuck with that simmer until VIII, where it would weaken to 6~9 damage. Beginning with IX, Frizz deals 7~10 damage.

Trivia

In the English translation of the Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai manga, one scene mistakenly leaves Frizz's Japanese name untranslated: on seeing Dai imbue a Frizz spell into his sword, Hyunckel identifies it as "the flames of Mera".
