Magic sites questions

I see. Without hard numbers, do you by any chance know if Forest is better than Waste/Swamp for finding magic sites? And is it correct that Mountains give you best modifier for finding magic sites? And what about sea provinces - are they the same as "Plains" as far as magic sites frequency is concerned (0 modifier)?

Mountains have the best chance for magical sites. The types you most often find are Earth though. The best place to find Nature sites is Forest, best place to find Fire sites is Barrens, Water sites Swamps along with Death.

And what about let's say Mountain/Farmland province? Is it better than Plains or worse for magic searching?

Definitely better, 3/4 of the slots as I said before.

But what sites does not fit "4 magical sites" criteria? Any site that doesn't ptoduce magic gems? Sites that comes from random events? Some "level 0" sites found automatically like Arena?

Anything that is not a Lab, Fortress, or Temple is a Magical Site. Arena, Library, Clam Field, Copper Mine, etc.
