Ok this card is another vastly under powered card
Lets say i want to increase my Magic as soon as possible for the most effect
Quick Math:12resources(Elven Apprentice)+12(Book of Magic)=24Resources and 2 Rounds for +1Magic and perhaps a negligible Alliance Token increase
We draw it at Round 1 and we play Book of Magic by Round 11(fastest possible by gems gained only from base 3 production)
So the +1 Gem will take 48 Rounds to produce a profit(assuming production x is not utilized) by the Round 59 the game is probably done or at least pretty much decided
Remake:
Cost 3/3/3
Evoke Kidnapping,Elder Shrine,Harpist
This way you can increase your Facility by not using its resource and counter the opponents Facilities making it much more powerful and utilizable
Until then im going to remove this crippler out of my Alliance deck
