About monthly rituals

I keep meaning to make a mod that adds a no-gem no-function site to all the one capital site only nations, just to avoid this problem.

But I'm lazy.

[Agrajag]

As a temporary solution, would site searching the capital without a spell prevent mages from autotargeting that capital with site searching spells of that path?
If it works, it's a way to waste only magetime instead of magetime+gems. (and probably less magetime, since the mage might be able to search [and thus protect from] more than one path at a time)

[thejeff]

Yes, it would. Not sure why I've never thought of bothering.
