     In Final Fantasy VIII, Square tried some more innovation this time around by introducing the Junction System.  It allows you (with the proper GF abilities) to junction the magic you have drawed to boost attributes in your raw statistics.  The Elemental Attack Junction (Elem-Atk-J) allows certain kinds of magic to be junctioned to gain elemental attacks.  The Elemental Defense Junction (Elem-Def-J) allows certain kinds of magic to be junctioned to gain certain elemental defenses.  The Status Attack Junction (St-Atk-J) and Status Defense Junction (St-Def-J) abilities allow you to equip (junction) certain kinds of magic to provide status attacks and defenses respectively.  Other junctions such as HP-J

Abilities needed to junction:

     You can learn these abilities from certain GFs.  To find out which GFs could, check out the Characters/GF section for more information.

Regular Statistics (Junction stats):

     Here is a list of approximate basic values for each spell that can be junctioned for a character's basic stat.  The stats shown below are added to the basic value to get the final value.  Example: If you junction wind to Squall for his HP, it will add 300 to his current HP value.  Note that these apply when you have 100 in quantity of the specified magic spell.  If you have certain abilities that will let you junction more than one to a certain category, numbers will vary.

Elemental Attack/Defense Junction stats:

     Here is a list of approximate basic values for each spell that can be junctioned for a character's elemental attack/defense.  Note that these apply when you have 100 in quantity of the specified magic spell.  If you have certain abilities that will let you junction more than one to a certain category, numbers will vary.  Abilities having x2, x3, etc. allow more than one magic junctioned to the category.  If a certain percentage of the elemental defense can be absorbed, you can gain some HP equivalent to the damage you would receive.

Status Attack/Defense Junction stats:

     Here is a list of approximate basic values for each spell that can be junctioned for a character's status attack/defense.  Note that these apply when you have 100 in quantity of the specified magic spell.  If you have certain abilities that will let you junction more than one to a certain category, numbers will vary.  Abilities having x2, x3, etc. allow more than one magic junctioned to the category.
