Depends on how you look at magic. Anything 'Improvised' should be at a penalty, I would say. But, on the other hand, Initiatehood is the 'standard' level of ability in Glorantha (very few people are Devotees in most cults). Of course, Devotee is probably the 'standard' PC level...
As I use it, Initiates DO get good magic, used as Augments. They have tuned into their deity's magic, and are enhanced by it. But they cannot duplicate his abilities yet, so they cannot replicate specific feats.
