'''Sizz''' is a spell in the {{DQSeries}}. It is the premier offensive spell, introduced in the original ''[[Dragon Quest]]'', and is often learned by [[Mage|Magi]] and other practitioners of offensive magic.

Up until '''[[Dragon Quest III]]''', Sizz was a single fireball that attacks a single enemy. Ever since then, Sizz is now depicted as a line of fire that attacks a group of enemies; [[Frizz]] would now take Sizz's place as a single fireball that hits one enemy. The flames intensify and movements grow more elaborate as the spell line advances.

The spell '''Woosh''' is a recurring offensive wind spell in the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest series]]''. It causes a small whirlwind to rip into a group of enemies for around 8~24 damage in most appearances.

Woosh originally debuted in ''[[Dragon Quest II]]'' where it was learned by the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]]. Since then, it is typically learned by [[Priest]]s and similarly pious characters and tends to be one of the only offensive spells they learn. It is related to the stronger spells [[Swoosh]], [[Kaswoosh]], and [[Kaswooshle]].

==Appearances==
==={{DQ2}}===
Woosh is learned by the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]] at Level 4. It deals 17~33 damage for 4 MP. It may fail to deal damage depending on the targets' resistances to fire spells such as [[Sizz]].

==={{DQ3}}===
Woosh is learned by [[Priest]]s and [[Sage]]s at Level 12, and will deal between 8~24 for 4 MP. It may fail to deal damage depending on the targets' resistances to wind spells.

==={{DQ4}}===
Woosh is learned by [[Meena]] at level 9, dealing 8~24 for damage for a reduced cost of 2 MP. These are the parameters that will define the spell for subsequent games.

==={{DQ5}}===

The targets' resistances to wind now affects the damage dealt, rather than the chance of this spell missing.

==={{DQ6}}===
Woosh is already known by [[Nevan]] upon joining the party. Other characters can learn it by advancing to rank 2 of the [[Priest]] vocation.

==={{DQ7}}===
Woosh is learned by [[priest]]s at the second rank and by the [[Draguar (Class)|Draguar]] monster class at the first rank.

==={{DQ8}}===
Woosh is already known by [[Angelo]] upon joining the party. It possesses a base damage of 6~19, and will begin to approach a cap of 19~32 once Angelo's wisdom reaches 64.

==={{DQ9}}===
[[Minstrel]]s learn Woosh at level 12 and [[Luminary|Luminaries]] learn it at level 11. Woosh deals 8~24 base damage for 2 MP. The spell will start to reach it's cap of 61~77 once the caster's magical might reaches 50.

==={{DQ10}}===
[[Luminary|Luminaries]] and [[Minstrel]]s learn Woosh at levels 12 and 18, and it costs 3 MP to cast. The spell's strength is calculated as ''Magical Might x 0.185 + 7.35'' for a base range of 9~19 and a cap of 23~33. Like a real twister, Woosh will strike enemies within its range multiple times.

==={{DQ11}}===
{{Serena 11}} and [[Sylvando]] will learn Woosh at level 14 and 20, respectively, ant it costs 5 MP to cast. The base range is 12~36, and will reach the cap of 36~60 once either character's magical might hits 80.

==={{DQM2}}===

==={{DQH}}===
Woosh is already known by [[Isla]] when she joins the party and is the main spell that she can use.

When used in conjunction with Isla's other attacks, she is able to rack up a lot of hits and damage. Isla can upgrade Woosh and is able to cast Swoosh and Kaswoosh by charging up the spell.

===''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''===
Woosh appears as the [[Hero (Super Smash Bros.)|Hero]]'s up special move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It is a small whirlwind that sends the Hero up a short distance and costs 5 MP, and is surprisingly quick to cast--the spell activates on the seventh frame after the player's button input. Nearby opponents will also be sent into the air the same distance after taking 7% damage. Holding the special button down will turn the move into [[Swoosh]] and then [[Kaswoosh]].

==Enemy versions==
When cast by an enemy in ''III'', woosh deals 6~18 damage. This would be the standard until ''VIII'', where the damage was reduced to 5~14. Beginning with ''IX'' it was raised to 6~21.
