remote spells on sieged province

I was wondering about the mechanics of remote spells on sieged province. In particular, if the nation A sieges the nation B and the third nation C cast a remote spell, who would be affected
- if remote spell is army killer, for example Murdering winter,
- if remote spell is province disaster like locust swarm, who will lose the gold,
- if remote spell is commander attack whose commanders can be targeted

And what will happen, if the caster is A or if the caster is B? Will it be the same as when the caster is a third nation or not?

And how the domes affect the casting? What is nation B mage residing in the sieged fortress casts a spell on the same province, will it be stopped by the domes existing on that province?

As far as I know (I'm no expert) - all offensive spells affect the owner of the province at the start of the turn (the start of the turn bit is important). If nation A sieges nation B - then nation A controls the province - so all offensive spells (and random events) will be cast on him, no matter who casts the spell. This is because units inside the castle are not inside the (rest of the) province. However - I don't know if nation A's protective spells will protect nation B from nation A's offensive spells - though I believe not.

I can't give you definite answers - but that's what I would have done if I had made the rules
