I was quite convinced that you never benefit from an enemy positive scales but was surprised in a game (still running) to benefit from his higher magical scales.

My magic scale is +1 but my fort, though under my dominion, still had magic +3 due to my neighbor and my mages were having +2 in research.
Sadly, being under my dominion, that scale has started to lower. I now only have magic +2 and so I'm back to +1 research.
