but but but (splutter... Gregged again?), all of these "supposedly" allow the Praxians to live off the plains, or rather allow them to stack together in the chapparel and, citing the late, maligned Nomad Gods, are all extremely magical. Or is this Wrong?

There are obviously many that would not be relevant to nomadic life except for there magical nature, but I thought that every one conferred some ability to collect/get/capture food that is otherwise well nigh impossible to live with, in large groups, on on the plains.
