(Cleared up confusion on Kacrack and Kacrackle. While old info is mostly true for the NES version, it does not apply for all subsequent versions. Thus, a new sentence in each of the spell descriptions notes this discrepancy like other wikis do. Also fixed kacrackle MP cost to be accurate)

[[Dragon Warrior III/Player_classes#Sage|Sages]] will learn both the [[Dragon Warrior III/Player_classes#Pilgrim|Pilgrim's]] and [[Dragon Warrior III/Player_classes#Wizard|Wizard's]] spells. The [[Dragon Warrior III/Player_classes#Hero|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.


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


These are spells that can be cast outside battle.

* 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
* [[#Offensive|Chaos]] is cast on all enemies and allies
* [[#Offensive|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
* [[#Offensive spells|Defeat]] is cast on party
== Attack spells ==
Battle spells that damage the enemies. Weapons are generally more effective.

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation logo

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.


Illustration Spell MP Use Target Effect Hero Priest Mage
DQ3 Spell Heal.png Heal 3 Field
Support 		One ally The most basic of all curative spells, it will restore around 30 Health Points. L04 L01
DQ3 Spell Healmore.png HealMore (Midheal) 5 Field
Support 		One ally Far more effective than Heal, Healmore will cure approximately 85 Health Points. L29 L14
DQ3 Spell Healall.png HealAll (Fullheal) 7 Field
Support 		One ally When Healmore just won't cut it, use Healall to completely restore all lost Health Points. L33 L30
DQ3 Spell Healus.png HealUs (Multiheal) 18 Field
Support 		All allies This high-level spell gives Pilgrims the ability to heal every member of the party, restoring around 50 points each. L34
DQ3 Spell Healusall.png HealUsAll (Omniheal) 62 Field
Support 		All allies While healing is normally the expertise of Pilgrims, it is the Hero who learns to instantly cure the entire party, although it will drain the Hero's MP. L38
DQ3 Spell Antidote.png Antidote (Squelch) 3 Field
Support 		One ally If afflicted with Poison, a Pilgrim can cast Antidote to cure a party member that is suffering. L11
DQ3 Spell Numboff.png NumbOff (Tingle) 6 Field
Support 		One ally Unlike sleep, numbness (or paralysis) does not automatically end when the battle is over. Use this spell to restore an ally. L15

Remake only-Spells[edit]

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.
