Those wacky cliomancers...

So, would a cliomancer charging at the wrong place (which everyone thought was the right one) still gain a charge?

Anyway, what if the whole deal was an attempt by some cobweb farmer to hog all the charges from that site, and have all the other clios getting nothing.  All it'd take is some usage of those spells to make people think the wrong house was the right one. (though this would backfire if the school's more based on public perception than actual history, which would mean the new site would get the charges and not the real one)
