Dragon Quest VI: Realms of RevelationEdit

Kaswoosh is learned by advancing to rank 4 of the Paladin vocation, keeping the parameters of its previous appearance.

It is also used by the enemies high djinks, and Stormsgate Citadel for 30~62 damage.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten PastEdit

Kaswoosh is learned by advancing to rank 4 as a Paladin and rank 8 as the Draguar vocation.

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.

Once the caster's magical might hits 285 the spell will reach its full potential of 160~290 damage, and the haywire rate is half that of a normal critical hit.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed KingEdit

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.

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry SkiesEdit

Kaswoosh is learned by Minstrels at level 36 and Luminaries at level 45, requiring 26 MP to cast. Rips through a group of enemies with a ferocious whirlwind, dealing 80~180 base damage. The spell will begin to reach it's cap of 155~255 once the caster's Magical Might surpasses 200.

Kaswoosh will deal 30~130 damage when cast by an enemy.

Dragon Quest XEdit

Minstrels will learn the spell upon reaching level 51, Luminaries at level 50, and Pirates at level 65. All vocations can cast it for 12 MP as of the 2.1 update. 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.

  • In the Offline version of the game, the Hero can learn Kaswoosh at level 51 as a Minstrel and 51 as a Luminary, while Raguas learns it at level 45 and Fuura learns it at level 46. As the game has changed back to a traditional turn-based battle system, Kaswoosh deals wind damage to a group of enemies for 10 MP. The damage range is 72~245 dependent on the caster's Magical Might.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive AgeEdit

Serena will learn Kaswoosh during a story event, and can cast it for 20 MP. Kaswoosh's base range is 124~252 and the maximum range is 162~290. Because Serena never develops any Magical Might save for equipment bonuses and seeds, the growth range for the spell is 1~250 magical might.

TriviaEdit

  • Prior to the debut of animated spells in V, Kaswoosh was depicted as being two powerful blades of wind striking enemies in a Greek cross pattern. This is still reflected in the spell's Japanese name of Bagicross. When it was decided that the spell would be animated as a twister, the idea of striking enemies with a burst of holy wind would be retained and manifest in VI as Pearly Gates (Grand Cross in Japanese).
