the banners

Two quick questions:

1. I think it is called the astral banner, a forgable item which reduces the holder's magic resistance but increases the astral power of nearby friendly astral mages. Does anybody know what "nearby" means -- I dont see the powers of astral mages in the same province rise. Or is it only on the battlefield? And if so, how many squares? Any specific info on this item?

2. The banner that the Bard has (and a few other commanders) is supposed to raise moral of "nearby" troops -- how near is this? I dont see any moral bonuses either when I click on those units.

1. It is battlefield only unless it says RITUAL at the top of the spell description. Also, nearby, I think either means in the same square of the grid or, perhaps, adjacent squares.

2. Banners effect units near them but I don't believe there is any visible change regarding this EXCEPT that your morale will stay slightly higher then it would without the banner nearby.
