Default Re: ritual site search bug/feature request

All ritual magic happens before battles, changing that is a non-starter. Site searching spells are a minor point to make them an exception to the ordinary order of turn resolution.

As far as I can tell, what it does now is: it crawls through the list in order until it finds a site that isn't being targeted and that has none-zip-zero search points in that magic path.

Now, on the one hand, you do *eventually* want to cast Haurspex on provinces that got only a nature-1 search. OTOH, it would be a major pain if the spell searched those provinces *first*. So if you're going to change the way it works at all, you should have a prioritization algorithm.
