Default Enchantment bonus and Holy questions (newb)

Did a search with no luck, though I'm certain these are probably covered somewhere. I have seen the message during Hosting regarding enchantment bonuses, but the turn is always over too fast for me to finish reading it!

1) I just found a magic site with enchantment bonus 30. What does that mean, and what's it good for?

2) I'm trying the "bless effects" scenario for the first time (purposefully, at least), and am recruiting sacred units. Gold and resources are obvious, but what determines a provinces "holy" recruitment amount?

1. All costs for enchantment rituals are decreased by 30%. Note that a bonus construction site also decreases item forging.

2. Dominion strength of your god. For every 5 temples it goes up by 1 and so does your holy unit recruitment capability.

I'm having odd results with an Enchantment Bonus site. It doesn't seem to work with some spells. FOr instance, I don't get the 30% discount for Lichcraft and Ghost Riders but I do for Army of the Dead and Behemoth.

Any ideas?

You may want to check on Lichcraft, Mr. Huntsman, I cant remember off the top of my head but I think it is an enchantment spell and you should be getting a bonus; Ghost Riders is a Conjuration spell (IIRC), so you *shouldn't* be getting a bonus there.

You'll need the full amount of gems even when using a discount site - That is to say, even though lichcraft costs 18 death gems you'll still need the 25 gems in lab to cast it. That it?

Ahh, okay, that's the problem. I had only 21 and thought the adjustment was taken prior to casting the spell. Thanks!
