Card (Ability)
From Final Fantasy Wiki
Card is a command ability from Final Fantasy VIII. It allows a party member to turn an enemy into a card. The enemy may either be turned into a card of itself, or, in a 1/20 chance, a rare card of a boss. Note that this may apply only to certain normal enemies. The command is best used when the enemy is weakened.
After turning the enemy into a card, the player can use them either in the game Triple Triad, or to be refined into items using the command Card Mod-RF.
[edit] Learning
The ability may only be learned from the GF Quezacotl for 40 AP, but other GFs may also learn it by using the GF-Item Gambler Spirit.
[edit] List of Un-Card-able Enemies
While most enemies can be Carded, certain normal ones could not because of certain conditions such as being storyline enemies, as part of subquest or because of being split enemies. It is a given that Bosses can't be turned into a Card.
