Yea i see ur point even if it is like, you have use say devils due in one battle to get it rank up and new skill that would be okey. i would mind doing 5 battle to get devils due V and 5 new skills and then get say bladedancer V and by then you would have all skills and only need to level them up.
and with the help of Kazuki savegame with all the starting arts ( invocations(spark), evocations(mystic missle), hexes(??) etc ) that would take no time at all in leveling all skills
sorry or the bible there xD
