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.

	Invisible (Fade)	15	Field	All allies	This spell will render your party invisible, making you undetectable to friend and foe alike, just like the Invisibility Herb.			L33
	Open (Click)	0	Field	A door	If you're missing a key and need to open a lock, the spell of Open is free to cast, although it takes a while to learn.			L35
	Ironize (Kaclang)	6	Support	All allies	A spell unique to the Hero, Ironize will turn your entire party into iron statues. They will take no damage, nor can they deal any.	L12

	Expel (Poof)	2	Debuff	Enemy group	The spell of Expel will attempt to banish some enemies from a fight. This is not the same as defeating them, so you won't get experience nor gold.	L06	L02
	Surround (Dazzle)	4	Debuff	Enemy group	Chanting Surround will cause illusions to appear around the enemies, causing them to attack thin air.		L07
	Sap	3	Debuff	One enemy	Sap will weaken the defense of an enemy, making it possible to do more damage to it with every strike.		L08

	RobMagic (Drain Magic)	0	Debuff	One enemy	If you're running low on MP, you can cast this spell in an attempt to steal some away from your opponents.			L15
	Chaos / PanicAll (Fuddle)	5	Debuff	One enemy	Enemies affected by Chaos are just as likely to attack their own companions as they are to attack your party.			L27
	Chance (Hocus Pocus)	20	Debuff Support Attack	Random	When the chips are down and you have no other choice, you may very well give Chance a try. Its effects may just save the day… or it may cement your doom.			L40
	Zap	8	Attack	One enemy	It takes some time, but the Hero will learn an attack spell unique to him. This one causes around 80 points of damage to a single enemy.	L26

	FireVolt (Kasizz)	12	Attack	Enemy group	Firevolt is the strongest form of Firebal magic, and it causes around 100 points of damage to every enemy in one group.			L29
	Bang	5	Attack	All enemies	Bang creates a small explosion which strikes every enemy that you are in combat with, causing around 20 points of damage.			L11

	Snowstorm/ BlizMost (Kacrackle)	12	Attack	All enemies	The strongest ice spell, Snowstorm pelts all of your opponents with a sub-zero blast that causes approximately 100 points of damage. A bug in the NES version makes it so you learn this spell at level 26 instead.			L36
	IceSpears (Kacrack)	9	Attack	Enemy group	Icespears is the second-most powerful form of cold magic which drops icicles on all of the enemies before you, causing around 70 points of damage. A bug in the NES version makes it so you learn this spell at level 36 instead.			L26

	Beat (Whack)	7	Attack	One enemy	Pilgrims may attempt to stop the heart of a single enemy in the midst of battle with this spell, but the chances of success are low.		L22
	Defeat (Thwack)	11	Attack	Enemy group	Cast defeat on a large group of enemies in an attempt to instantly kill some of them. The stronger the enemy, the less chance this has of working.		L28
	Sacrifice (Kamikazee)	1	Attack	All enemies	A desperate attack spell that costs the ultimate price: the caster's own life. It will also take the life of your opponents.		L41
