No, you don't use an ability at all. You experience the enemy's ability and permanently learn it for yourself just by observing it. No "drawing" at all, or anything like it. FORGET FF8 okay? Stop trying to compare or take what I said to mean it that way. Take it the way I INTEND it to mean! Yeesh... once you get an interpretation, you NEVER let it go, EVER, do you?
And it's not a complaint! It's fine for American RPGs, but in a game like Final Fantasy, which is what I was talking about, and that's it, I prefer to have enemies constantly respawning. It's just a preference. Okay? Why can't I just have an opinion without you analyzing it to the tenth degree and saying I'm wrong to think it? I just wanted to let you know what I thought, not debate it! I don't care enough about that opinion to think of it as worth defending!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
