I think perhaps saying that the trickster needs 'no Uralda-connected magic' is probably going too far. I don't think the Trickster needs to be a worshiper of Uralda, or to (necesserily) ever have taken part in Uralda worship. I do think that Trickster mythicaly must have a cow-making and therefore probably Uralda related myth from whence the magic proceeds. However a more generic fake animal creating myth (Hykim and Mikyh related, maybe?) would probably do at a pinch.
