Unknown magic sites in starting provinces?

The spell is worded properly. As has been mentioned before by myself and others, the sites do not exist at all, period, until the event that brings them into being and they do, indeed, magically appear out of thin air.

Acashic Record is the proof of the assertion. Once a province has been searched via this spell, any sites that show up later due to an event most assuredly do appear literally "out of nowhere", as the spell had already uncovered ALL sites that had been generated for that province at the start of the game. New sites in such a province are therefore just that, new, since "unknown" has been ruled out.
