How do Magic Site bonus's work

[endomorphious]

Hi still very new to Dominion3 and always just SP. I have a question regarding magic site bonus's. I have both a Conjuration and Evocation site that gives a bonus of 20. How does this bonus work? Does it decrease the cost or increase the amount summoned? specific examples and/or tips for maximizing use of these sites would be greatly appreciated.

They are straight percentage reductions to the gem cost for rituals. So, for instance, if a Conjuration ritual to summon 20 Knights who say 'Ni' costs 10 Astral gems, and you've got a Conjuration 20 site, it will only cost 8 Astral gems when cast in that province. If the spell was instead an Enchantment spell with the same effect, it would not have its cost reduced. Note that Construction bonus sites affect forging costs in the same manner.

I've heard it said that it also affects fatigue for spells of the particular school when they are cast in battle as well, but I haven't confirmed that personally, and this is generally much less useful.

And a minor PS: While the base gem cost for globals *is* affected, only extra gems above the base global cost will count for the purposes of overwriting and resisting dispels.
