I'm still on in the Balamb area of the game. It's like my 5th time through the game and I know everone is talking about how have to draw magics is a pain. So here you go:

Fasticolon - Fs on the shore give you 3 AP a piece. Just learn Card Mod for Quezecotl (sp?) and play cards games. convert the cards to items, and then use F, I, and T mag refines to make magics. I have squall filled on level 3 spells and I just started the game. No more drawing magics for me! Plus, quistis can learn lots of blue magic early on in the game.

Just thought I'd share my strategy for those who haven't figured this out. This is bad if you hate playing cards though.
