Absent from the original, it is the last spell [[Psaro (Character)|Psaro]] acquires in the remakes at level 60. Damage is calculated by multiplying his current mp by 2. Magic Burst is also used by the [[Aamon|true final boss]] in Chapter 6, dealing between 200~220 damage, which can be diminished by casting [[Insulatle]].

The game of the spell's introduction, it is acquired by [[Ashlynn]] through an event in [[Sorceria]]. However, in the DS remakes, it is also learned by [[Mercury]] at level 7. The only other way to obtain this spell is by advancing to rank 6 of the [[Liquid Metal Slime (Class)|Liquid Metal Slime]] vocation. MP is multiplied by 3 in the original version, and by 2 in the remake, and both use the [[Breath|fire breath]] attribute.

The only other way to obtain this spell is by advancing to rank 6 of the [[Liquid Metal Slime (Class)|Liquid Metal Slime]] vocation in any version. MP is multiplied by 3 in the original version, and by 2 in the remake, and both use the [[Breath|fire breath]] attribute. [[Bounce]], [[Magic Barrier]], and [[Insulatle]] will have no effect on the spell's power.


Humorously, magic burst is classified by the game as a skill rather than a spell despite all dialogue to the contrary, likely so that it will be unaffected by [[Bounce]].

Acquired through the [[Gripevine (Class)|Gripevine]] class in both versions, dealing 3xMP in the original and 2xMP in the 3DS version. In both versions, the [[Orgodemir|final boss]] will cast is for 200~220 damage unless [[Insulatle]] is up.
Acquired through the [[Gripevine (Vocation)|Gripevine]] class in both versions, dealing 3xMP in the original and 2xMP in the 3DS version. In both versions, the [[Orgodemir|final boss]] will cast is for 200~220 damage. Magic burst features the same properties as in the previous game, and in the 3DS remake will also display a unique animation if [[Maribel]] is the caster.
 


Magic burst is still classified as a skill for the above reasons.

Learned by [[Jessica Albert|Jessica]] upon mastery of her fisticuffs skill set. ''VIII'' is the first game to reduce the spell's power from 3xMP to 2xMP, likely due to the ability to [[Tension|psyche up]] to raise an attack's potency to obscene levels.

Magic Burst now has no elemental attribute, and Sages who reach level 78 in the vocation will acquire the spell. As is the case with the previous installment, its damage has been reduced due to psyching up, and will only deal about 1.5 times the current MP of the user of damage if cast without tension. Magic burst also works if the caster is [[Fizzle|fizzled]].

When cast by a Legacy Boss, the calculation switches from MP to level; specifically ''(6*lvl*(0.9~1.0))''.

Magic Burst is learned by [[Armamentalist]]s after completing Quest #352 and subsequently raising their Fource skill cap to 150. It deals '''4xMP''' now, but this increased damage is limited only to enemies in immediate proximity to the caster and a lengthy incantation time of '''two minutes'''.

[[Veronica (Dragon Quest XI)|Veronica]] will learn magic burst at level 70. The spell returns to multiplying MP by three, but in order to be case Veronica must have at least 64 MP. Additionally, the damage will also be multiplied by 1.5 if the girl is under the effects of [[Channel Anger]].
