	This is the battle that awaits you when you try to take Palom's dagger. As you should know from previous battles, your physical attacks will be moot against the flans, so you and I both hope you have some mages to carve some powerful magic into them. You'll notice that you can't attack Master Flan until his supporting flans are gone. Even worse, the first thing he does is cast Reflect on himself. While you're taking out his minions, he'll proceed to cast high level magic off himself onto your unsuspecting characters. That's going to eat up your HP real quick, so it's important to have a healer. As the flans go down, leave one of them alive. If one is alive, you can attack the Master Flan. If they all go down, he'll simply reform them back (I know that's what I would do too if I was a master of flan. That's pretty much the only superhero power you get, after all). Keep one alive and then hopefully you have one or two heavy hitters hanging around to lay into him without resorting to magic. Cecil is going to attack, and if Yang is still hanging around, his Power will work wonders here. To increase the annoyance factor, you'll find Master Flan has a lot of HP. But once he does disintegrate, take out the last remaining flan and victory is yours.
