No XP for researching a spell. There are some quests which result in a
spell, though, and some of those give xp. None for low-level enchanters
that I know of though.

What spell quest have you EVER seen that is easier than purchasing the
same-level spell? More intellectually rewarding? perhaps. Easier? No
way.

1st level spells are expensive without twinking, 8th are expensive, 12th
mildly expensive. Aside from those levels, they cost a lot but you should
be earning a whole lot more than they cost.

However, the time and risk spent on a quest are almost always greater than
hunting things with good loot and buying the spell.
