Glacial Eye (card)

Glacial Eye is a Triple Triad card in Final Fantasy VIII used to play the minigame and for turning into items with Quezacotl's Card Mod. Glacial Eye is the fifteenth card in the inventory, the fourth basic Level 2 Monster Card.
Being a Level 2 card, the card values on the Glacial Eye are not strong. Its value placement may be useful for games that use Same and/or Plus. It is an ice-elemental card, which can be used when the Elemental rule is in play; placing the Glacial Eye on a tile with the matching ice crystal symbol boosts the card's values by +1. The improved values do not count toward Same/Plus triggering, but do count for Combo. The player is likely to encounter the Elemental rule the first time halfway through the game when they get to Fishermans Horizon, though it is also a rule in Dollet and the Queen of Cards can be paid money to introduce new rules to a region.
==Obtain==
The Glacial Eye monster has a 3.5% chance to drop the card. Using the Card command on a Glacial Eye has a 93.7% chance to procure a Glacial Eye card when it succeeds.
Any AI Triple Triad player who uses Level 2 cards has a chance of using Glacial Eye in a play, from where the player can win it in a card match.
==Card Mod==
A Glacial Eye card refines into an Arctic Wind with Quezacotl's Card Mod ability. The Arctic Winds further refine into Blizzara with Shiva's I Mag-RF ability, meaning the player can fairly easily get Tier 2 magic early on. 
==Physical version==
