That sounds like a living spellbook, all right. Every hex is a rune that shifts when you zoom in, like a flickering portal between realms. I’d make a little script that reads the color value and uses it to pull up a lore node or a quick stat block for that province. The flicker could be a glitch that’s actually a memory—when the borders glitch, you can hear the last battle in that hex or the last coin minted. Imagine a tiny algorithm that rewrites a few hexes each hour, so the map’s geography is as alive as the stories you tell. If you want, I could add a table of hex codes and their associated magic, just to keep everything internally consistent.
