Editing Critical Hit (section)

==Spells==
==={{DQ9}}===
Beginning with {{IX}} spells can also land critical hits, where the spell "goes haywire". This not only increases damage output of attack magic, but also boosts healing spells. If a status-changing spell goes haywire, its chance of working increases to 100% (barring the target being immune). Investing 54 skill points into the [[Mage]]'s Spellcraft skill will increase the chance of a spell going haywire.

==={{DQ11}}===
By default, spells have a critical chance equal to half of that of a normal attack, but the [[Zam]] line instead uses twice the normal critical chance, or four times that of other spells. When a spell goes critical, it deals between 1.5x and 2x the normal damage (Zam line spells deal 2x to 2.5x damage instead); healing spells heal 1.2x to 1.6x the normal amount. [[Magic Burst]], [[Fullheal]] and [[Omniheal]] can go critical, but the critical has no effect on the spell itself. The chance of a critical spell can also be boosted with certain pieces of equipment, most of which are restricted to {{Veronica 11}} and [[Rab]]. Additionally, all three of the main spellcasters in the party ({{Veronica 11}}, {{Serena 11}}, and [[Rab]]) will receive boosts to their critical spell chance when they are pepped up.
