I know you said no draw points, buuuut there are some invisible draw points on the world map on The Island Closest to Hell. That's usually where I get all of my high lvl magic since I'm to lazy to draw magic from enemies for hours. >_>
 
I believe there was a topic like this recently made. Should check it out. But Island of Heaven, Hell, have a lot of rare magic. You can get Ultima from the Shumi Village for a certain of amount of gil. And wait for it to respawn and then red-o it.
 
I already covered most of this in the other topic. Shumi Village and the draw point at Islands Closest to Heaven and Hell are the easiest ways to get the Ultima spell in my opinion then refining. Islands Closest to Heaven and Hell contain most of the best spells available including the ones below without the need to refine.

This is one of the best offensive setups.

HP: Full-life = (Islands Closest to Heaven and Hell), (20 refined from 1 Regen Ring with L Mag-RF)
Str: Ultima = (Islands Closest to Heaven and Hell), (Refine Energy Crystal, Dark Matter, Pulse Ammo, Ultima Stone)
Vit: Meltdown = (Refine Mystery Fluid = 10 Meltdown with ST Mag-RF)
Mag: Meteor = (Islands Closest to Heaven and Hell) (Refine Meteor Stone)
Spr: Reflect (Refine Dragon Skin = Reflect (Supt Mag-RF)
Spd: (Triple Islands Closest to Heaven and Hell), (Refine Rocket Engine)
Eva: Tornado (Refine Windmill = 20 Tornado with T Mag-RF)
Hit: Double = (Refine Dragon Fin with T Mag-RF)
Luck: Aura = (Islands Closest to Heaven and Hell), (Refine 1 power wrist -> 10 Aura stones to Aura (Supt Mag-RF))

Hidden draw points on the Islands Closest to Heaven and Hell contain the Ultima spells (add to Str junction) plus others including Full Life (add to Hp junction), Tripe (add to Spd junction), Meteor (add to Mag junction), Aura (add to Luck), Tornado (add to Eva junction).

Map of hidden draw points:

To get Pain:
Tri-Face (1 = 1 Curse Spike = 10 Pain with ST Mag-RF)

To get Meltdown (add to Vit junction)
- Gayla (1 = 1 Mystery Fluid = 10 Meltdown with ST Mag-RF)

To get Reflect (add to Spr junction)
Dragon Skin = Reflect (Supt Mag-RF)

Add all of these to get the best out of the junctions plus requiring the Ultimate weapons. You can also permanently increase your stats with items such as HP Up's, Str Up etc to really max out your stats. Stats max out at 255.

It's really not that hard to get high level magic.

Many bosses have high level magic and so do rare monsters such as Ruby Dragons, etc. Other than that, some monsters drop rare items such as Windmills, which you can refine with Quezacotl's T/W Magic Refine for Tornado magic, which is some of the best magic your can get your hands on early in the game.

Just draw from rare encounters as well as bosses, and make use of your GF's different refinement abilities.
