That's 10+ extra Fire casts during a 5 minute battle (AV/CC boss fights?)
i remember there being a cap for hp gained from materia, 280 i think. Is there no cap for MP gained from materia.

also you example involves removing all materia that would add damage, so im not sure if casting extra spells is better then heavy damage spells, its certainly not faster.
