In the Garden, Balamb Garden, the lion talks to walls~~! (Final Fantasy VIII Revisions)

[TartaChocholate]

uyimbube, uyimbube, uyimbube, uyimbube, uyimbube, uyimbube~~!

Anyhow, here's a rework of sorts for one of my favorites, Final Fantasy VIII. All details can be seen in the following Sandbox. But to elaborate:

• Only Power and Abilities. I do have some stuff for stats, but will be addressed later on.
• It mostly builds up from what's already done currently by @AlphaOmegaV1 and @Blackcurrant91.
• Nothing really crazy here, unlike my previous nonsense, except for a couple of things that may be debatable (pointed below).
• Mostly covers the missing stuff from the games and uses the game lore to expand on justifications on existing abilities and classify thing.
• No verse powers or anything, the names are simply how sections will be addressed in the profiles.
• Here's a sample profile with how the changes would look as a reference.

Now for the more controversial bit: Conceptual Manipulation and Reality Warping for Magic (the one used by Sorcerecess) and Para-Magic (the emulation used by the party):

Magic

• Conceptual Manipulation (Type 2) and Reality Warping: All Magic shares the same essence, as it all has its origin in the god Hyne, the first Sorcerer and the one who bestowed his power to humanity, who would pass it down and share it among Sorceresses through a process called Embodiment. Magic allows to interact with abstract ideas and materialize them into reality, but in a way that what is brought to life remains connected to its ideational roots. For instance, Sorceress Ultimecia could use her sorcery to take what Squall envisioned as the strongest being and bring it into reality as the Guardian Force Griever. This creature remained deeply connected to Squall, its figure and appearance based on the lions Squall deeply admired and the symbol he proudly wore, and as Squall idea of what the most powerful creature is, the stronger Squall believed Griever to be, the more powerful it would actually become. Additionally, Ultimecia could interact and modify this idea, as, when Griever was defeated, she could junction herself to it and grant it her magical power.

Para-Magic:

• Conceptual Manipulation (Type 2) and Reality Warping: Though a simple emulation of real Magic used by Sorcerecess, Para-Magic was created by Dr. Ondine precisely by researching and imitating the nature of the power of Sorcerecess, with the only major difference being the raw power between the two. Via the Draw and Junction commands it's possible to directly obtain the power of a Sorceress and turn it into spells, however, their power will inevitably decrease.

which is consistently described[19] through the Final Fantasy series as a nuclear explosion

This is not necessary since you already have a statement from FFVIII

 

[Rutæhh]

looks great, nice work as always

You already know I agree with this so...
