I'd think in this one case, more than any other, he couldn't. That is, perhaps a disciple of Issaires could win storm powers in a quest challenge, and perhaps a Death Lord could win, say, fire or speech or jumping powers--but a Death Lord *couldn't* win *storm* powers, because a key fact of Humakt's bio is that he cut off his connection to his Storm kinsman.

It'd be like a Yelmalian disciple wielding fire powers, or a Zorak Zorani wielding cautious reflection powers--just too much against that god's grain.

Just MHO...
