	Note that the area that the character desire to turn into his Domain may not ''have'' a primary terrain type, but instead consist of two or more types of terrain. In such cases, if there is still a fair amount of the terrain type that matches the character's Terrain Affinity, halve the amount of ES subtracted from the Domain Unit (and don't round it). If there's less than to warrant the term "a fair amount", there's no effect. Note, however, that most characters who use Domain Magic do not have Terrain Affinity, and so aren't bothered by this.
