    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.
