Hrmm. That's not how I had interpreted it at all. I've always assumed that
the two were one and the same thing. The new regent had to spend a full
month preparing for the spell, but it was a free action for the priest
because he could always have his flunkies set up the ceremony, and then
just show up for the 1-2 days of the actual ceremony and spell. Sort of
like having the regent to be invested spend a domain turn is one of the
components of the spell. Vigils and all, sort of thing.

My group and I had a big discussion about this, for this very reason. We
came to the conclusion that the domain action had to be separate from the
realm spell for just this reason..you would never be able to invest a
level 0 province. A less convincing argument is that as all regents are
imbued with the essence of the gods, why should it be required that a
priest oversee their new connection to the land. Just a few random
thoughts on the subject though :)

I vote for "need the level one temple to cast the realm spell" unless it's a
domain action where a level 0 would suffice. Of course I'm the same hard-ass
DM who requires guild holdings on each end of a trade route. Keeps the money
flow in check ya know.
