Gandar takes his clue from Lezard. He, much like the glasses wearing Valkyrie stalker, joins late and wields powerful magics with a dubious boss form. He opts for such a form against Balbaroy, assuming the birdman from the world of <i>Shining Force</i> can't stand up to it's power. All that energy. All that magic, coursing through Gandar's veins. It's e nough magical power to make anyone shake in terror, let alone a single light.
Gandar's still a frail old man. There's nothing like a cure for the magical doomies than cutting your foe's guts out and letting him die screaming while trying to piece himself together.
Rather similar to how Claude handled Lezard, come to think of it.
