But aren't these the same things? Gloranthan magic (or at least Theistic magic) does not consist of casting spells, but of recreating divine or 'supernatural' powers. So maybe EVERYONE who worships a combatant god with healing powers uses those powers by making their blood boil? Come to think of it, that's a pretty good description of how Gojira/Godzilla does it...
