Holy Power

IIRC it goes a little like this:
Man: Prove to me that you exist.
GOD: I refuse to prove my existance, because proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.
Man: So don't you think the bable fish is a dead give-away?
GOD: Oh, that's right.
*God promptly vanishes in a puff of logic*
*Man goes on to prove that black is white and gets killed in the next zebra crossing*

Actually, I'd be happy if pretenders could build temples.

I agree. That's thematical enough...

I think (thematically) every commander should be able to build every building.
I mean, just because you aren't a mage doesn't mean you suddenly have no idea what a library is, and each blueprint for the construction of one simply evaporates in your hands.

I have to agree that building a temple makes sense.
But then Im not sure why it takes a mage to build a lab, so as long as thats true then a priest building a temple makes sense I guess.

It would make sense that a priest would need to consecrate the temple before it functions a temple.

Labs as well. They're not just libraries. Items and gems can be transported between them. Mages can only cast ritual spells there. There's obviously something magic going on there. So it makes sense to need a mage to supervise and do the magical part of construction.

Essentially both buildings have supernatural effects and need someone with the right type of supernatural abilities to create.

Makes sense, but then again I believe many religions on earth would believe that something built directly by their god is sacred.

EDIT: What the hex am I trying to say?

Agreed. Allowing the pretender to build temples would make sense.

How about temple and lab building spells to go with the fort building spells?

Letting pretenders build temples is a great idea.
