In Final Fantasy VIII, "Quake" (クエイク) is a powerful Earth-elemental attack magic spell. It is the only Earth-elemental spell in the game, dealing significant damage to enemies vulnerable to Earth. However, it is ineffective against flying or Earth-based opponents. Besides direct casting, Quake can be junctioned to equipment, enabling characters to absorb or deal Earth damage. This spell can be acquired by "drawing" it from enemies, or by using the Guardian Force Diablos's ability "Time Mag-RF" to convert items into Quake. In battle, Quake can damage all enemies, although its effectiveness depends on elemental vulnerabilities. As a high-damage spell, Quake can significantly enhance combat efficiency when used and paired correctly. Furthermore, Quake appears throughout the series, with variations in effects and acquisition methods, but always retains its Earth attribute and powerful ground-based destruction.
