That's cool!
Increasing summoning lore for locate (and a number of other benefits) is on the docket for my sorcerer as he approaches cap. Actually umm...I have a very interesting RP idea related with that but I won't spoil it now. (Hint: it's inspired from the film Time Bandits)
I'd still like to see flags for local/global death messages, and/or information in the death message indicating the realm. The main downside or trick here is the multiple realms on the Solhaven Trail and Icemule Trails (at least, in my humble opinion).
I don't seem to think it's a downside to the lore training for Locate (e.g. giving people a free advantage without training something), and in fact I think it makes it more powerful (since you don't need to waste mana wondering if someone is hunting Castle Varunar when sitting in TSC, or whatever). In fact, if something like game balance is part of the issue to approve the idea, I'd also be quite okay if it depended on lore training and/or required knowing certain spells.
