Hi! I think I found this through seventhe? I love the idea of Meta December! I have all the questions about FFVIII magic, too! Stuff I wanted to get other opinions on for my Selphie Manifesto/Frankenfic in the works.
I've been poking around the FF wiki site and the available translations for the FVIII Ultimania, and from my understanding, Odine developed a junctioning device for using para-magic. I was wondering if the Galbadian Army, an example of magic users, not summoning, had a separate device than that used over at Balamb Garden.
I'm going to have to find the translations to back me up, but I believe they're the same devices and used pretty much the same, the difference being that if you add on GFs, it extends your physical limitations (you can augment stats), and that doesn't happen without them.
I'm still trying to work out the Blue Magic bit with Quistis and Selphie's Slots ability. Ellone is part of this question, too: Are they carrying some degree of sorceress magic? Could they be examples of sorceress magic being spread thin? It makes me wonder; everyone else in the party (Edea and Sorceress!Rinoa excluded) have physical limit breaks.
