for spamming magic loop cast is being used because it uses the initial activation sequence to cast same spell over and over.The psion consumption to create the spell itself remains the same only the psion consumption for activation sequence is reduced.

So Hale Particles, Air Bullet, and Tatsuya's Gram magics and (unfortunately) Mist Dispersal.
you are right remember the testing for the fly type magic at FLT 3rd division, all the tester where exhausted for using the fly type magic that needs a constant supply of psions to work.
Also in combat rarely we see people run out of psions because the fights don`t last that long.

As magic spamming go myukis niflheim is a a rank spell with a wide area effect, and it takes a lot of focus to maintain that spell that's not a spell one can just spam.
The spells we saw being used in a "spam effect" are usually simple spells and single target spells like air bullets, gram demolition, Mist dispersal etc.

The CAD only reduces the psion consumption for creating activation sequences, the less psions are used the faster the activation sequence can be constructed. But the cad does not reduce the consumption of psions for the actual spell construction.

Psions are used intelligently its not like the high-level magicians just wastes them for no reason. How many times tatsuya used magic in a spam capacity? besides that 9SC gram demolition thing that not actually count as spamming.
Psion use lead to mental fatigue.
Remember the battle with the parasites in volume 11? at the end miyuki was very tired and barely being able to stand let alone walk(tatsuya was carrying her at that point ), all that after using her ZI at almost full strength and using the cocytus, even lina and tatsuya were tired. So yes they didn`t run out of psions but the use of magic took a big toll on their minds and its also statted if you overextend yopurself using magic can have a lot worse consequences like reducing the life spam of an individual, creating physical problems etc. Miya, Honami they both overused their magics and they ended up either directly dead or they only lived for a short while after.
