In the Japanese games, ''Mahyado'' was replaced as the strongest ice spell in the Joker series of games by ''Mahyadedosu'' and eventually introduced in the main series of games starting with Dragon Quest IX. In the English versions of the games, Kacrackle was kept as the name of the strongest ice spell, while ''Mahyado'' would be translated as Kacrack in order to maintain its position as the second strongest ice spell in the game.
