Some of the domains are missing granted powers and one of Hamanu's is missing spells- it is late when I have been working on this and I am drawing a blank.
The rest of the bureaus will be finished soon.
Here are my thoughts on how these influence and bureau spell lists should work- the SK domain automatically taking the spot of the assigned spell. this would remove some of the rubber stamp effect on the templar.
Now the bureau spells would be slightly different- they would not be automatically given, but would instead be additional spells that the tempar would be able to select from. If the templar let one bureau for another and had selected spells from his old bureau spell list, he would of course keep them, unless we impliment a spell swap like sorcerers have. The new bureau spell list would now be available for them to select from going forward and if we had the spell swap, the templar could switch out one of his old bureau spells for one of his new ones, but only the bureau for a bureau spell.
As for access to skills and the templar loosing the skill from their class list when they switch bureaus, well this is simple. The skills from the bureaus could still be considered cross-class skills, but only cost the templar within that bureau one skill point to purchase a rank in instead of the two normally required- keeping it as a cross-class skill would mean it was still subject to the max ranks limitation for cross-class skills, but the templar would be able to purchase ranks in his bureaus skills cheaper.
Enjoy, discuss, and stuff...

Is it me, or are most of these the core domains from the SRD with a new name and with some minor tweaks?
But I'm assuming that was the intent all along?
Teachings of Darkness granted power: Darkvision 60ft, if already has darkvision it extends by 30ft.
Make sure to include which domain goes with which sorcerer-king. Some are obvious as they have the SK's name in the title. Others seem obvious to us, cause we're all Dark Sun fans, but may not be so obvious to someone approaching DS for the first time.
The last domain has two names, one in the main header, one in the "spells" header.
Kal,
Is it me, or are most of these the core domains from the SRD with a new name and with some minor tweaks?
Sysane-
Yeah I took some of it from the SRD- why totally recreate the wheel. I took the basic ones and made some changes. Now keep in mind that I am not totally happy with them yet, as i said this is only draft one. Some of them are mine though.
Some of the granted powers are lame and I will change that, but with some minor changes, the core domains will be better in DS.
I have also take some good basic concepts of domains from the Spell Compendium too ;D
Sage- like the powers and I will steal or adapt, thank you my bearded friend.
Mystic Thurge- the name thing will be stated as to whic domain thet apply. As for the two name issue...Well i had a change of heart on the name and it is the top one, unless the other one is better. Then it is that one.
The Hand of Oronis Domain will be changing and the power too- I never really liked it, but the concept will be the same. And the Naggaramakam Lore Domain might change as well- too much like Andy's domain and I think Nibenay should have one that is arcane magic focused.
I don't understand the rational for making the Path of Dregoth be a movement related domain, perhaps you could explain this to me. What am I missing?
The rational behind that was his travels and quests across the universe while he studied about gods. He led the live of a wanderer for a LONG time and he now also has he drey out in disguise, traveling and learning about the tablelands and the events that have occured while he was away.
As you can see, I kind of went with an old school flavor by not allowing much of anything for spellcasting ability at 1st level.
Now this progression does allow for a few more spells known, I think it is 59 spells known with this list, whereas the core book has only 52.
Here is the Spells Known chart I use for my campaign - the assigned spells have to be selected either from the templars SK influence or their bureau.

I will post the rest of the charts I have at home...well when I get home I guess
- that will let you see the spells per day and other abilities all in one go.I guess this also means that I need to finish up the influence and bureau spell lists too - something I should be able to do in the next few days I suppose.
Now I know some of you will be thinking that it is too little, but I took into account ability mods when designing this stuff, and also going with the 2e flavor of the SKs being somewhat lacking in granting very powerful magic even to their underlings.
Enjoy.
I just need my notes from home - damn work!
It is late, so tomorrow I will post the "how to use" kind of stuff and all that jazz.

I like it, altough the names are a bit too long for me.
I like what I see, Kal. Quick question though, The teachings of darkness for Andy might be better as something else. Something to do with silt and sailing perhaps. The Black is something new for Andy, as you know.
It is new - and that is the reason. Any old influence he might have had was replace with this one when he was locked away into the Black - so templars who worship him still and have access to spells would no longer have the old influence, it would have either been changes to this one or they would have had to rechoose.
There will be more coming, the rest of the normal spell lists that I use (which are more or less the same as the ones in the core manual) and some other material to better explain how the influences and bureaus work.
If anyone has suggestions for other burueas, I would like to know. The King's Works (as I will expalin in the fluff I will add) is the workhorse of the city - kind of a catch all which is why that spell list is varied and not really a solid theme.
Also - some (like the War Bureau) will be going through some major changes and others will be getting some polish - suggestions are always welcome.
Also, I expect to be able to complete my High Templar this weekend too, so people will be able to see this all in action
Nice to see something balanced and elegant from you once in a while... :P
I like it, altough the names are a bit too long for me.
All of my stuff drips with awesomeness - as it should :D
And the names stay as they are, so :P
I made some additional changes to some of the granted powers, completed all the spell lists, and added some goodnedd to the different bureaus.
Their are only two granted powers I am still working on to make some changes (and they are marked with a (CHANGE)) - so we are getting close. I should have all of my templar related stuff posted by the end of the weekend.
