It isn't hard not to use Junctioned magic. I would be annoyed at always having to refine more magic when I used it. I rarely ever use any magic, be it Junctioned or not. I just stick with commands. The only magic that I will use regularly is Aura, and that is only when I really want to kick some ass.

When you start getting more powerful spells like Full-Life, Ultima, Meteor, etc. your stats will drop suprisingly fast when you use them, and they are not easily refined either. So it's best just to leave them alone.

lol. Those levels are actually about medium-high. High levels = weaker party.
