Dragon Warrior III/Spells

Sages will learn both the Pilgrim's and Wizard's spells. The Hero has a handful of exclusive spells, but most are ones that either the Pilgrim or Wizard will learn (though the Hero often learns at a much higher level).

The level listed is the one that the character should learn it at, however there is a slight chance that they will not learn it on that level. If that occurs, they have a chance of learning it at the next level. Most of the time a character will learn the spell by one level after the one they are supposed to learn it at, but sometimes it can take longer. If you have to have the spell at the earliest possible time, save your game right before you level up, then reset if you don't get it. The modern names of the spells are in parentheses.

Spell can be classified according to use in four groups:
 * Field: spells that can be used outside battle; probably the most useful ones;
 * Support: battle spells that target the allies;
 * Debuff: battle spells that target the enemies and limit them, but deal no damage;
 * Attack: battle spells that deal damage to the enemies.

All the effects of Chance have the same probability of occurring:
 * Heal is cast on one character
 * Healus is cast on party
 * Every attack by allies is a "tremendous blow"
 * Chanter gets two free attacks, then enemies and chanter alone for the next round
 * Enemies lose next turn
 * Steal MP from enemies
 * Allies faint and monsters flee; no experience or gold gained
 * Enemies flee, party gains gold but no experience
 * All magic is neutralized
 * Chaos is cast on all enemies and allies
 * Sleep is cast on all enemies and allies
 * Instant death to all enemies
 * The chanter's voice echoes throughout the area (no effect)
 * Party changes formation to random positions
 * Defeat is cast on party

Remake only-Spells
In the GBC/SNES versions of Dragon Warrior III, the Hero can learn some additional Spells. Dealer, Jester and Thief also now have spells.

The level listed is the one that the character should learn it at, however there is a slight chance that they will learn it one higher than normal. If you have to have the spell at the earliest possible time, save your game right before you level up, then reset if you don't get it.
