Magic takes too long. Set up your gambits to use items instead as this happens instantly with close to no delay. Also Firaga on Oiled foes works wonders.

Ally KO = Arise
Foe Oil = Firaga
Ally Disease = Vaccine
Ally poison = Antidote
Ally confuse = Smelling salts
Ally Sleep = Alarm clock
Ally Blind = Eye drops
Ally Stop = Chronos Tear
Ally Silence = Echo Herbs
Ally stone/petrify = Gold Needle
(any foe attack gambits after the above)

I don't usually put Ally Sap = Esuna/esunaga on. I do this manually. Esunaga takes too much time.

I also manually cast oil on the foes so that I can maximize the number of foes that will be oiled. Once that's done, automatic roast!
