OK, I feel like an idiot for asking this...

That might be worth it if you got double XP/magic points for the fight. Maybe.

Cyan’s ability would still be useless if it involved waiting. Seriously, how many battles in this game last even half as long as it would take for his abilities to charge up? Since you can basically one hit kill every enemy in the game at just about every point by simply using “fight”, I still don’t see the usefulness.
