But that's not what happens.

The auto searcher can target a province you've lost. That spell will be cast next turn. You couldn't select it to cast a search spell into if you were doing them manually.

I see. It makes sense, though. If the mage is reset to cast the same spell immediately after the previous spell has ended, before provinces are conquered/lost, and even before magic gems have been received... well, that explains the other quirks in the monthly casting.
