The calculation alters when the caster's might exceeds 300, becoming ''({{Magical Might}} - 300) / 20 + 177~207'' for a new cap of 211~241.

==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 Bagi''cross''. 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).
