The Junction System (ジャンクションシステム, Jankushon Shisutemu) is a technology and skill system designed by Hiroyuki Ito and used in Final Fantasy VIII. The Junction System is a device that allows the user to replicate the powers of a sorceress via the storage and control of magical powers and Guardian Forces. The system can store 32 different forms of Para-Magic with a stock of 100 units of each form. The system acts as a type of filter, filtering out magic (known as drawing) from a being or entity and storing it ready to be used or junctioned by the user. This allows the user to possess near superhuman abilities, such as increased speed and strength, as well as being able to use magic. Various Junction Systems are seen in wide use in the military forces. The game's original Japanese version has a Junction Glitch that lets the player junction magic to more than one stat. The glitch was fixed to western localizations.
