Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen
The Magic Key was created through alchemy by Mahabala, and is found in the Cave West of Aubout du Monde during Chapter 5. It must be obtained in order to open the warded doors at Palais de Léon.
It is found by searching the chest where the Night light was/is for a button. The button will only show up during Chapter 5. The room within requires the Thief's Key to obtain the Magic Key.
During Chapter 4, the doors requiring the key will open with Oojam present (in the NES version, he breaks the door down, while he merely picks the lock in the DS and Cell phone version).
Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride
The Magic Key is found in a chest in a warehouse at Lofty Peak, along with the Flying Carpet.
Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation
The King of Howcastle presents the Hero and party with a Magic Key after their escort of Prince Howard through the Hallowed Hollow.
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
The Magic Key is found in a chest in Trodain Castle.
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies
The Magic Key is found at the Mirage Mahal in Gleeba. It allows access to warded doors.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age
The Magic Key is found in the Nhou Wat ruins connected to Phnom Nonh. It is in possession of Dora-in-Grey in the Nhou Wat mural, and she drops the key when she is defeated. The Magic Key is needed to obtain the Purple Orb in the ruins of Zwaardsrust. It is also a prerequisite for obtaining the Blue Orb in Sniflheim, as the city gates are blocked by ice and the only available doorway requires the Magic Key. In his Party Chat dialogue after the Magic Key is acquired, Rab mentions both of these doors, which is helpful for first-time players.
