Ring and faerie does not provide discount when lair is casting a creature.
Most rings only benefit the mage. When they do help spawnpoints its specified like necromancer ring and Warlord Ring.
Yep i know, but it is good info to know for others to know it does not get the discount with a lair.
I was mainly considering the Extra mana from the lair is a +2. For your spawn point. So total four extra mana considering lair, ring, faerie combo.
Which you pay two from your Mage +2 from your lair giving you a cheap creature. You have to have Wychwood fairies in Your zone plus use your ring to get the -2 cost for a animal creature. So in essence you are getting two cretures for 2 mana each. Then you would have to spend full amount on next creature if you have the mana to do so.
