Why would the Fonritans need to have a deity for a sorcery spell? Why can't Jraktal be a native vampire deity instead? How do you even know that Jraktal's magic is the same as the supposed Vadeli tap magics?

FWIW I think that Tapping was invented by Zzabur to regenerate the Cosmos after the Great Darkness so it would be slightly difficult for the Vadeli to give the Fonritans tap magic in the Storm Age - what Revealed Mythologies speaks about Energy Prisons and Energy Combat Magics, not Tap spells.

The Fonritan slave cosmology is little different than the Islamic notion that one should submit to the Will of God and all that and is not bad shit in and of itself. Chattel slavery which the Fonritans also practice is bad shit but is not a necessary part of their cosmology.
