Junction abilities

The kernel’s Junction ability “flag” field (offset 0x0005, 3 bytes) is a real 24-bit bitfield — one dedicated bit per ability below, ORed into the character’s FF8CharaAbilities bitmask (ResetAndParseBattleAndFieldCharacter) for every junction ability equipped. In the retail kernel every entry sets exactly its own bit and no others; the list’s own “Dummy/Unused” entry (offset 0x40E0) sets none (raw value 0). Bit 19 is unused by any retail entry.

Chara abilities

The kernel’s Character ability “flag” field (offset 0x0005, 3 bytes) is a real 24-bit bitfield, same JFlag mechanism as Junction abilities - one dedicated bit per ability, ORed into FF8CharaAbilities by ResetAndParseBattleAndFieldCharacter for every equipped character ability.
