gaining Phys. spell
Test1 use one weapons =outcome?
Test2 use only phys.spell=outcome?
Test3 use only magic spells = outcome?
Test4 comination of all 3 = outcome?
will do the same with magic.

will also note the day,time,and moon phase
Might become to complex.

just try hard and never give up. You know you like that high when ur finally get that spell you have been trying for 3 long hours for
Honestly, your not going to see much in data. You would need 4-6 chars that all can play BLU and test this method, everyone's experience in gaining spells is varied. The way I take it all spells have a % chance of learning, some higher then others but that might be just a biased opinion. Yet it works like item drops, you either get it because your in the % tier, or you don't because your outside of it. Really its nothing to gripe about, god forbid you should have to work for what you use rather then flashing around a thick wallet or a heavy purse. IMO

Also might help is equip CHR based spells to raise chance of learning the spell.
This seems kind of a cop out really, but I guess if this job is as good too you as /NIN is, then ya I would just get it over with and get your Cocoon and Wild Carrot. Really if your not into the job, you shouldn't even be doing it, only excuse I can see is maybe DRG/BLU but thats just me.
