Bullet souls are often projectiles, and consume a set amount of magic points upon use.
These magical attacks can quickly end fights, but their use is limited by the number of magic points Conan has.
Bullet souls are Soma Cruz's replacement for Sub Weapons in this game, and enable the player to consume a set amount of magic points to use an ability, often some form of projectile.
While previous Final Fantasy titles provided each character with a limited pool of magic points that were consumed by each spell, in Final Fantasy VIII, spells are acquired ("drawn") either from enemies in battle, Draw Points distributed throughout the game's environments, or by refining items and cards.
During rollover, drunkenness and fullness levels are reset, and minor amounts of health points and magic points are restored.
Statistic examples include hit points, the amount of damage a character can receive; magic points, which determine the number of times a character can use magical attacks; strength, the power of a character's physical attacks; and intelligence, the power of a character's magical spells.
Raising a life level will decrease the damage Link receives when hit, raising a magic level will decrease the magic points (MP) cost of spells, and raising an attack level will strengthen his sword's offensive power.
The boon they've collected, by killing foes and completing obelisk-given mini-quests (initially just "kill more of this enemy" demands) boosts the magic points, hit points, and shadow mode duration (more on that in a second) of the guild of your choice, all of whom have their own special abilities.
The system of spellcasting is similar to that of the original Final Fantasy; rather than using magic points to draw upon for supplying magic, spells are used according to a set number for their type, i.e., white magic, black magic, or wizard magic.
Magic has skill levels similar to weapons, but each magic spell costs magic points to cast.
Attributes include hit points, magic points, magic power, stamina, strength, spirit, agility, intelligence, and evasion.
