9 Magic (great) Gam (leg reversed/over) + I C
40 Obliged (bound) = OED (dictionary) around blig(hted)(half ruined)
8d Syntony (adjusting tune) = syn(sounds like/picked up "sin/offence) + Tony (Blair perhaps)
18a seems to be a mistake ...it has the wordplay but is essentially a themed clue ...the province is 8 letters
