Is there any way to Draw 100 in battle or from drawpoints, without using the magic booster?
I really enjoy Final Fantasy VIII in it's original form, the only thing I don't like so much is drawing 100 of all the spells I want to build my stats. After playing it a few times I found it much less tedious to use thh draw 100 gameshark code to get the spells i wanted quicker, which let me build the stats i wanted without getting access to certain magic too early and take away from the original game experience.

I suppose i could use the magic booster whenever i discover i new spell but then I'd have to wait for save points and reload the game every time, etc. Is there any way to simply draw 100 of whatever spells you encounter in the game?

Edit: The magic booster is actually completely useless for what I want in case people are wondering. It only gives you 100 of some very early basic spells, and even misses some incredibly basic and early spells like scan. At such an early stage you can't even refine scan so to not include one of the first spells you can encounter in the magic booster is pretty short sighted. Also, no spells you encounter outside of the stock magic booster spells will be affected, so you can't get 100 demi's let's say after finding one and using the magic booster, you still have to either refine or draw all of them.

Thanks to E Zamora for letting me know about the F5*** command. Although I'd prefer not to have max gil without working for it, I still would much rather NOT farm/refine all of my spells. Just wanna enjoy this classic game with some serious time saving. University student ya know? Zamora said F6 which must have been a typo, F5 works for me in game.

The closest thing would be to use one of the "features" Square added to the Steam version, if you hit F6 it asks for a confirmation to max your Gil, that will also give you 100 of any magic you have. Not sure how you feel that would "take away from the experience", but Gil was never a problem in FFVIII unless you wanted to refine Stat+

It's way easier than farming in any other FF. You can also build stats by eating monsters without using magic. Boost all of your magic attributes first, then you will draw more. If you boost your stats with magic, if you use magic in battle, you will get weaker.

I never really understood all the griping about having to draw 100 of each spell when you can just use GF abilities to refine magic for items. For example, by getting water stones from Fastitocalon-Fs on beaches, it doesn't take long at all to refine into 100 water spells.

It really just boils down to speed guys. I am completely aware of how to game works. I am aware of how drawing works, how junctioning magic works and how using the junctioned magic will affect my stats. The only thing I'm looking for is something to give me 100 of each spell i encounter immediately, Simply so I don't have to take the time to either refine it or draw it. The F6 thing seems lik my best option though I'm not happy with getting maxed out gil. I could probably find a way to get rid of it somehow though. As long as pressing F6 only gives me 100 of the spells I've already encountered and not 100 of all spells I'll be happy.

Thank You E Zamora

Drawing isn't even the longest part of the game.
Instant 100s, you may as well use cheat codes. Because that's exactly what you would be doing; cheating. You want god power, you gotta work for it. Train for it.
