Quickenings
In Final Fantasy XII limit breaks are called Quickenings and can be acquired on the License Board. Each character can learn 3 Quickenings by learning one of the 18 Quickening panels. When a character learns a Quickening, it will dissapear from the board for the other characters.
You can use Quickenings when you have full MP. When you learn a rank 2 or rank 3 Quickening your MP will double or triple and the MP gauge is divided into 2 or 3 seperate Mist Charges.
