So, in theory, this is
just a part of the reason why the junction system is flawed:
I'm guessing the magic stat can be altered/determined by junctioning? But that requires magic to junction to, if you wish to make it better - possibly quite a decent amount of a spell would be required. This means you would have to spend ages constantly drawing a high stock of a spell (which takes time) for each individual character (which takes time) after finding an enemy that gives such a good magic-stat-raising spell (which takes time).
Now, once you have obtained a good amount of a certain spell and junction it to the magic stat, 'the more magic you draw each turn.'
However, from my experience of VIII, you cannot get any good spells that raise your stats significantly at the start of the game (let's say, until the start of Disc 2 - after all, why would they give the best spells that could make your party invincible, at the start of the game?). So with this in mind; until you reach a point in the story where you can draw high-level magic (which takes time) and find enemies that give you such spells (which takes time) - you have to draw more magic from them, in order to junction it to magic, so that future draws are more effective;
BUT I'm guessing that by the time you reach a high magic stat that yields 35+ spells-per-draw, the game is pretty much over or you already have most of the best spells, rendering your efforts to get a high magic stat wasted.
The only upside is if magic determines damage done by your spells - but I'm focusing on the more annoying and flawed drawing mechanic for reasons already specified.
However, that's all just theory - I haven't played VIII in ages, so everything I've just said is probably wrong.

Never reached it in 14 hours, no; mostly because I like to have my games mostly completed, so I go around doing all the side-quests and mini-games I see. As for Doomtrain, I think there is only one way - and that's the use of certain items at Tear's Point (look up the items needed on GameFAQs, then refine them from any cards you have).
