It overrides the natural stat caps of monsters, allowing the fourth-tier attack spells to reach their maximum damage that necessitates 3,999 wisdom. Ping is learned through the Antimagician, Empath, Fortifier, Sizz Afficionado, and Willing Helper talents.

The effects of the spell can be replicated by popping an ally with a ping pellet.

Dragon Quest Tact[edit]

Ping appears as an enemy-only spell that can be used by certain monsters and bosses. It has a range of up to two squares away from the caster in any direction, can be self-cast, and greatly increases the WIS of a single target. Silvapithecus and Slimecicle also possess the awakening perk Rare Ping, which has a chance to greatly increase their WIS for 4 turns at the start of each turn.
