Draw (Final Fantasy VIII)

Draw reffers to an ability in Final Fantasy VIII that is gained when a Guardian Force is Junctioned to a character. Gaining this ability requires no other feats to unlock, as it is available right from the start of the game.

Draw can be used both to siphon magic from the many enemies that Squall's party faces and also to steal Guardian Forces from certain enemies (such as Eden from Ultima Weapon). If magic is "drawn" from an enemy, it can either be Stocked or Cast. If it is cast, then the magic that is drawn from the enemy is then flung back at them (or your party if it is a of the white magic variety.). If, however, you choose to stock the magic, then it is saved in your inventory (supposedly inside your GF) for later use with the "Magic" command (Like "Draw", "Magic" can be equipped right from the begining and does not need to be unlocked before use.); The space in which to store magic is limited. If a GF is drawn from the enemy, it is useless in that particular battle, but afterwards it can be junctioned to your characters like any other GF that has joined your team in other ways.
