Well, in this game, only 4 characters can learn magic. And the magic's they can learn all vary (Espers no longer teach spells. They are only good for Summons and stat boosts now.) The only spell that's really boosted is Drain, but then again, it's a spell only Toa can learn. So it's a "signature ability", if you will.
Magic in this game is actually very rare, since it can only be learned from equipment relevant to it.
As for MP cost, that's going to be one of the last things I equal out. But for Drain, it might not get changed much. Since it's not, like, rediculously overpowered (It just attacks all enemies, and drains roughly the same amount from all of them.
In one of my test runs, I used it on a six-enemy formation. It broke the game. Lmao. Well, it didn't BREAK it. It just made minor graphical errors for the rest of that battle.
When I actually feel like getting down-and-dirty with it, alot more spells will become more 'flashy and showy'. Because... shouldn't magic be that way?

"The doom and gloom is justified.
A couple of people are going to die.
Even though you can turn back the time,
you're always a moment too late!"
