Trivia
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).
