Actually your point is justified even with designing a spell because even
once the spell is made, it's creator does not automaticly know how to cast
it, only that it works (MITS pg48, Using the formula "once you have a spell
formula, you can use it to learn the spell...")

I have found that designing spells is one hell of a lot easier than learning
them; you are allowed to take your magic attribute away from the design
target number (the drain modifiers almost never go higher than your magic
attribute and therefore it is easier than learning as spell so long as you
have a suitably high spell design skill).
