Not all spells necessarily needs long chants or drawing stuff on anything to be casted, since there are some magicians who are skilled enough to make "shortcuts" in their spells (e.g Birdway), and there are some who are gifted enough to also have superhuman abilities aside from magic(e.g Saints), and still there are others who can do anything without even speaking a single word (e.g Othinus). So it all depends on the user itself, just how it depends on "level" in espers.

And yeah, most of the OP characters are from the magic side, no matter how you look at it.
