Unless your explosive-fireball caster has a lot of Energy Reserve, a large Powerstone, or a handfull of assistants with Lend/Share Energy, Explosive Fireball may not be a great choice as an offensive weapon.

There's no TIME reduction for missile spells at high skill, they still get energy reductions. Its Blocking spells that get no energy reduction.
