'''Crack''' is ~~initial ice~~ spell in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series. Introduced in ''Dragon Quest III'', it has ~~since~~ become ~~common among~~ [[~~Wizard~~]]s and other users of offensive magic.

'''Crack''', originally known as '''IceBolt''', is a recurring offensive spell in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series and the first in the Crack family of ice spells. Introduced in ''Dragon Quest III'', it has become a staple commonly learned by [[Mage]]s and other users of offensive magic in the series.

Crack is often depicted as a sudden growth of ice crystals that cut into a single enemy. The crystals become larger, more abundant, and far more chilling in appearance as the spell family advances, often extending its target range along with its power.
