Near as I can tell, the "Extra Magic" flag simply means there's 30% more likelihood that magit sites are in the province. Unfortunately, that overrides the bonus from mountains (10%), forests and wastes (20%?), and whatnot.

So it then becomes random luck, and somewhat frustrating when you take the province and there's _nothing_ there, or one extremely minor site.

But I guess there isn't any MAP command that puts a random site in a province, and the general consensus seems to be that putting specific sites is unbalancing, as people rush locations they know will be containing a great site.
