Note that the gathering spell will extract magic points from certain attractions, resetting their time counters. This can be annoying for attractions with long wait times like Space Mountain.

If you keep your long attractions synchronized as I do, you're in for an unpleasant surprise by using this "feature".

In essence, the gathering spell simply gives you a few points and tokens early, which is of no benefit in the long run.
