In the Nintendo 3DS version, it can also be learned at rank 6 as a Sage, rank 5 as a Pirate, rank 2 as a Druid, and rank 5 as a Hero. However, it is an advanced spell and can only be learned permanently by mastering the Draguar vocation.

It can be cast by the enemies Vaipur, Djinn genie, Drakulard, Envoy, Hirsute hwxer, and Wind Spirit.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King[edit]

Kaswoosh is learned by Angelo at level 32. It possesses a base damage of 64~144 for 8 MP, and will steadily grow towards a cap of 120~200 damage once Angelo's Wisdom surpasses 450.

  • As with other third-tier spells, Kaswoosh was modified in the 3DS port. The base range is now 112~152, and the cap is 164~224 at 520 Wisdom.

The spell's formula is (Magical Might - 79) x 0.54 + 57~87, leading to a base range of 57~87 and max range of 177~207. The calculation alters when the caster's might exceeds 300, becoming (Magical Might - 300) / 20 + 177~207 for a new cap of 211~241. The tornadoes conjured by the incantation radiate out from the caster for 15 meters in a counter-clockwise patter, striking enemies within the range multiple times.
