As I was looking at my card, I noticed my bank account was awfully low, looking back at my card from WITL, I noticed that I am 50 gold shy of what I should have.
Now, my question is this: who do we go to to resolve card issues with the new system? Is it still Jason?

Yes.
However, if you see something like a misspelling of a skill name, a skill that wraps funny, a skill that is inconsistent in its placement or any other formatting issue with the sheet (not the contents of the sheet, just how it is displayed) you can bring those up to me at

As I looked over my card I noticed that my firsr arcane sphere has (5) next to it. As a mage's first sphere is free, was 5 build charged to me?

Looking at my card again, i noticed something similar. Sacrament is free, Purification is free, which I recieved when I learned Cleric, but both Life and Light (one of which was paid for) have 5 next to them. I was told when I picked up Priest, I got to choose an additional domain for free. IS this true, and the 5 is just a mistake? Or did this change?

Blanket answer without looking at your card. If you see a number in parenthesis after a skill then the build is charged to you. The new system doesn't rely on people to do math anymore... it also shows its work. So these extra charges were just likely oversights made during data entry. Send a note to Jason, he will get it fixed.
Since the cards have already gone to print these will either need to be corrected by hand for this weekend or if the problems are extensive we can print an updated card.
Just a couple of key exceptions to the visible work rule. Professions. The left most is your free profession. Every other profession listed that does not show a build cost, you spent 10 on. If it cost you other than 10 build it will show the amount. The total spent on professions is listed at the end of the line.
Similarly for Literacies and Lores. If a Literacy or Lore does not show a cost then it cost you 1 build. Again a grand total for Literacies and for Lores is shown appended to the header for each.

There are two questions here. One is a rules question about characters with both Cleric and Priest and the number of free domains they get. I cannot answer that. After that has been answered we can see to correct any mistakes made on your card. Default position is that your old card is "right" and we correct things in your favor. So if we compare your old to your new and see that the cost of that domain was zero before and is five now we'll either change the cost of the domain to zero on your new card or you will get 5 build added to make up the difference.
