* ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'' has two forms of Area of Effect: spells that hit all monsters in a group (which consists of monsters of the same type, though some may still be in their own groups), and spells that hit all monsters in battle. The latter is typically reserved for explosive magic and high-level ice spells; most status magic, wind magic, and a certain line of fire magic typically only strike groups. (Your party, naturally, counts as one group.)
** Most ''VideoGame/DragonQuestMonsters'' games forgo the distinction, due to the smaller monster groups - each side can typically field three to four monsters at once.
