IMO what you want (not recruiting mages for research) implies you can't recruit researchers either.
So these dedicated researchers could be:
- unique units of your nation, you'd start with one of these, immortal, so he wouldn't die even if assassinated. However, you run the risk of him getting seduced by a succubus or something like that.
- summons (level 0). How do you avoid spamming mages to spam these? A limited number per nation can work.

I thought that this should apply to all non-cap and weak cap-only mages.

Be cautious. As described, this has side effects: You would transform LA Pythium into a blood nation for instance.

So I'd like to limit the more powerful spells to be cast only in certain provinces.

Why not make these spells very expensive and create magic sites with big reduction for casting?
