The junction glitch is a glitch in the original Japanese version of Final Fantasy VIII that lets the player junction the same spell to more than one stat. The bug was fixed for the western localizations. To perform the glitch the player must swap spells around between party members to trick the computer. The player has to use three characters if one wants to junction a specific spell to multiple stats. Example: The player wants Squall to junction Ultima to Elemental Defense, Strength, and Magic, a total of three stats.
