It's not, only for the most powerful ones. Lots of sites are level 1-2. Magic level 2 will enable you to cast site-searching spells (auspex, haruspex, voice of apsu, augury, bowl of blood) or even level 1 is enough (dark knowledge and arcane probing), so once you find first couple of sites to get some gem income rolling, you can start casting them to increase it further in a faster and easier way than hopping from province to province. Arcane probing is especially nice, since it gives you access to astral pearls, which you can more easily convert to other gem types in order to cast that school site-searching as well. However, you can find holy/unholy sites only through Acashic record, unless you search with priests. So if you want to see those, this is the way to go.
