I have to admit, as far as I was aware priests were not able to do anything like
leylines. If they wanted to cast a realm spell, they could only do it from a
province with a temple of holding of the required level (of course the realm spell
mebhaighl touch gets around this). Unless there is something official on this, I
would not let priests cast realm spells outside of their temple holdings by using
some sort of leyline system (excluding m. touch). I think that priests need the
direct support of their congregations to cast realm spells, in addition to the
power of their deities.

IMO the priests don't use magical source but "faith" to cast the spells and
therefor can't use leylines. Preists who wants to use source or leylines has
to be a dualclassed mage/priest.
