In Final Fantasy VIII the magic system is a lot different then other Final Fantasy's. You receive magic by drawing it from enemies, bosses and draw points. Also you can exchange some items for magic. Here are all magic skills that you can get in Final Fantasy VIII. I also included the juctioning magic.
