Just wondering how to defeat him? Physical reflection is kicking my tail

I could answer that - but I don't want to.
Mispolm is mostly a puzzle, so... what have you tried so far? What else have you observed?
Have you already beaten Dolan? If so, you should get an idea from there - I've probably spoiled too much now

Plus... there's a bug which makes Mispolm easier that it should be.

I have death hand, magus , and vanadys so plenty of elemental spell power plus buffs and sabers, and the best strategy ive used so far is to harass with thunderstorm which deals 126 with mind up even with mispolms counter magic, also aura wave and a few physicals will let kevin deal 946 on his lvl3 tech. The real problem in aving is with killstinger sometimes it only deals 75 dmg and sometimes it deals 999 to all party members. Same with pumkinvbomb. I guess i need to find out a way to mitigate killstinger and keep my party afloat. And i have yet to defeat dolan he is next on my list

are you by chance massively overlevelled? magic should deal ~0 damage to Mispolm.

This is a property of ALL spells Mispolm has; if a certain condition is met, he deals "you die" damage.

Spoiler

you basically have already used the "best" way - compare your damage numbers again and think about what did (not) happen after both

edit:
ok, make that 3 bugs with mispolm; 2 make it easier, 1 more obscure as to what you should do - how did I break that!??

Spoiler

1) there's a weird property with "reflect physical" in that it uses the last spell used against the reflectee as base for "something"; Mispolm uses Stone Cloud on itself to make you petrify yourself when you next hit it. Currently every boss retaliates against their own spells so she immediatly removes it via Countermagic

2) obviously maximum magic defense is not enough... what.

3) there should be a second damage pop-up after "doing the right thing" - the damage is done but not shown

No, I didn't observe such a (non-)behaviour at all. Not even as I tried just now...
