a probably over asked question just want an opinion

A lot of gfs have different ways to get magic then just straight up drawing it, a lot of them have ways to refine items to magic, and other magic to higher level magic so at the beginning of the game I may end up drawing for like 5 minutes/battle but it picks up unless I need to get certain magic spells, like the Seifer in Disc 3 comes to mind for all of them Auras.

if you take a little bit to understand the abilities that your GFs have and what you can do to work the system, you don't have to spend all the time just drawgrinding for spells. This game rewards thinking, GOOD THING!
