Final Fantasy VIII - Magic Refinement

Magic can also be acquired by refining items and upgrading current magic into stronger magic via certain abilities learned by GF's.

A GF can learn certain abilities that allow for Magic to be refined or upgraded; this requires the ability to be selected in the GF menu and the required AP from battle to learn.

Once you have the ability, as long as you have the item needed, you can turn it into magic.
