Sizzmeister is a recurring trait in the Monsters series that increases the power of the Sizz family of spells and also cutting the MP cost considerably. Due to the Sizz spells possessing different elements in different Monsters titles, the Sizzmeister trait increases the power of Fire or Light elemental damage depending on the game. The reason for this is the Japanese root word, Gira, is derived from the onomatopoeia for intense light that also refers to the blaze of the sun.

Note that Sizzmeister will not increase the power of Frizz-family spells or fire breath despite both groups also using the Fire-element; the trait only empoweres the Sizz-family of spells.
