There are a number of spells which effectively cause a specific bad-luck event in a targeted province (hurricanes, locusts, cold snaps, etc.). Some of obviously province-specific effects such as altering the scales or killing population. But what about events that cost gold...

Say I have a wasteland province that's bringing me 25 gold a turn. If an enemy casts Locust Swarms on it, I see and event that causes me to lose 100 gold. Do I actually lose 100 gold or does it only cost me the 25 gold I would have gotten from that province? If it's the former, can they cast the spell on that one province 5 times, draining my coffers by 500 gold?
