He would indicate which element when he would cast a spell, and would be vulnerable to the opposite, after which he would switch the element he’s vulnerable to. Because you could only use 3 characters in a battle (for plot reasons one of them has to be Frog), it’s impossible to have a counter to every element, but fortunately, even if he isn’t hit with the element opposite to what he uses, he will eventually change the barrier’s weakness anyways. Eventually, Magus would switch to just using his Shadow attacks, including his most powerful spell, Dark Matter, an utterly devastating attack at this point in the game.  This guy was bad ass and definitely deserves a spot on this list.
