Yes. At lest that's what we have been doing in our games.
I admit I found the Elmal feats in the new writeup on the Issaries site a wee bit bland. I think the Affinities are spot on but the names are very, very dry. Pity really. But I suppose that's what happens when a lot of folks demand rigid and easily understood feats.
Its a shame really. I'd hate to go back the boring days of Shield, Protection, Countermagic, Healing, Yawn.
