At some point, I had a theory that there had been six ages. (The Dawn started the sixth.) Each age had a Malkioni-like numeric devolution. In the first age, there was one, but two was coming, so the magic of two had power. In the second age, there were two, but three was coming, so the magic of three had power. More specifically, the fifth age was the Storm Age, when the sixth magics had power. One sixth magic was storm, the sixth element. I had a bunch of reasons why this worked well, but I've long forgeotten them. But, if the sixth age starts with the power of seven -- the light bringers -- one would expect other seven-magics to have power, too. So, it wouldn't be so much lunar sevens as part of the underlying meta-magic. My Glorantha varies, obviously.
