Summary
A while ago (a couple of years really), I got this plugin/script for RPG Maker VX that allowed the 'party' to draw and use magic in a way similar to how it is done in Final Fantasy VIII.

I'm not much interested in the 'drawing' aspect of it, but on the consumable part. I.e.: to use magic(skills) as if they were items.
I know Yanfly has something similar with skills requiring items, but that isn't exactly what I'm looking for.
Thanks for your time.

Update:
Found the original scripts by Tsukihime, that was 3 used.
magic_units: to convert MP into Units (What I'm really looking for)
command: to create a 'Command' Skill type (not sure if necessary)
draw_magic: to enable 'drawing' magic from monsters mid battle (bonus!)
they are attached!
