I think my mage found a site he shouldnt have?

There is a freeware excel viewer on the internet, do a Google search for "Excel Viewer" in order to obtain it.

In general the stronger the site the higher requirement.

The maximum path required for finding a site is 4. So you don't 'need' to use you high magic pretender to search.

A level 4 fire mage will find every possible fire site. So will a level 2 fire mage casting Augury (Thaumaturgy 2).

It's not just the gem income that's important, remember. High-level, rare sites don't necessary provide oodles of gems, but may allow recruitment of interesting troops (ethereal knights, ethereal assassins, powerful mages, etc), or even free summons (mostly undead and devils), or other services (boosting experience, scrying) or bonuses (20% discounts on Conjuration, Construction, etc). Spiffy stuff out there if you're lucky.
Oh, and try not to get addicted to Acashic Record. It's expensive to cast...
