Well, I didn't mean it in the sense of the mechanics of HQ1, I meant it in the sense of "this is the magic that most people benefit from". If they have it, and can use it to solve problems mechanically within HQ2 then it should probably be an ability of some sort. If its an ability of some sort it should probably be on their sheet, not some imagined liturgists sheet because that introduces book-keeping which I don't consider to be adding much to the process of the game.
I do agree that the regular blessings received in veneration ceremonies in Monotheist churches do not resemble HQ1 common magic at all though.
