Well, they're still questing in the God's War, which isn't particularly
non-Euclidean IMO (being made of everything, as it is), so I wouldn't
quite go that far. It's going to depend on the particular sorcerous
tradition, but it would be something like:
You realise that there are insufficient water-bearing winds coming off the western sea. You heroquest to gather and strengthen the wind and cloud essences, and, through use of the appropriate formulae, persuade the former to push the latter over your land. Then you sit and shake your head at all the silly justifications the pagans came up with when that's all *they* were really doing, either...
