Life (Final Fantasy VIII)

Life is a restore magic spell in Final Fantasy VIII. The spell is used to revive a KO'd character, and restore 12.5% of their HP, much like a Phoenix Down. when used on a live character, the spell misses. It is a level below Full-life, which revives a character at full HP. The spell can also be junctioned to boost stats.
==Obtained==
Life can be drawn from several enemies, likely being first found from either the Sacred boss in the Tomb of the Unknown King, or the Creeps in the Deling City Sewers. It can also be refined from Life Rings using Siren's L Mag-RF ability. The player can get Life Rings early by playing Triple Triad and modifying Torama cards.
==Stats==
==Use==
Life restores 25% of a KO'd character's HP when cast, and can also damage undead enemies. It can only be cast using the Magic command.
Casting Life in battle increases compatibility with Carbuncle and Alexander by 0.2, but lowers compatibility with Eden by 0.2 as well.
Junctioning 100 Life spells to Elem-Def-J grants 30% protection from all elements, while to ST-Def-J grants 20% protection from KO. It provides relatively good stat bonuses for HP, Vitality, and Spirit, though it is outclassed by many other spells.
Life is outclassed entirely by Full-life, but Full-life is a rare spell and best reserved for junctioning to stats. Unlike other spells with higher-level versions, High Mag-RF cannot refine Life spells to Full-life. The player can replace Life with the Revive command without using up resources.
No enemies use Life.
