Draw Points around the world
By examining the Draw Points in the field and on the world map, you can draw magic. The Draw Points on the World Map are completely hidden. Examine odd-looking areas carefully.
FFVIII Info Corner
Draw Point is a gameplay element in Final Fantasy VIII where players can Draw magic spells to be cast using the Magic command or Junctioned to a player character's stats. Developmentwise, Square designed the Draw Points as a replacement for Treasure Chests, which are absent in Final Fantasy VIII.[1]
Draw Points are scattered throughout the field map, others are found on the overworld map. Draw Points can be recognized by two or three glowing purple-pink lines rising from the ground in a swirl pattern. Most Draw Points refill over time, however, and can offer magic to be Drawn again. However, some do not (recognisable by the pale blue swirl lines appearing once the magic has been Drawn, as opposed to the white swirl lines denoting refillable Draw Points). The Draw Points that do not refill are:
- Esuna in the Balamb Garden library.
- Blizzaga in the Timber Maniacs HQ.
- Ultima in Mayor Dobe's house.
Some Draw Points are hidden from view, and only revealed when the player Junctions the ability Move-Find. All Draw Points are free to draw from, with the exception of an Ultima draw point found just inside Shumi Village in the area beside the elevator. This Draw Point is guarded by three Shumi and costs 5,000 gil to access, but refills at an unusually fast rate.
