I think that comes down to personal head canon lore.

A successfully cast fireball in the midst of combat I think would earn more XP in a perfect world, but the one summoned and successfully projected in a vacuum (into the air) would still merit experience somewhat.

The way you're looking at it is applied knowledge vs basic understanding, which has its own merits.

That being said, I find the capacity to just stand next to an NPC for 3 months of in game time to become one of the best fireball blasters in the world to be antithetical to how I want to play.
