1) Is there a noticeable difference?
2) If so, is the difference suitably large/small enough to serve our intention?
3) If not, what, if anything, should be done?
1) I haven't been casting a lot of spells and most aren't very challenging (so generally low XP). In addition, I've been kind of scattershot in choosing skills instead of specializing much. I have skills at 12,5,5,4,3,3,2,2,2,2 - and at least one in every other base/intent.
2) The impact of casting experience has been relatively small as compared to the hourly accrual from what I've seen. But that may be because I'm not firing off a lot of high-powered spells.
3) I feel it might be better to either increase the XP gain from spellcasting or reduce the time-based accrual (or both?). Sitting around and waiting gets you more than doing stuff, from what I've seen. By the time you have enough XP to cast a spell, your skill levels are high enough that actually casting it doesn't get you much additional XP. It's a struggle to find a spell that can gain me more than 4-5 XP total, while I gain 24 XP a day. That seems to me a little out of balance.
