Dwarven Sorcery:
The suggestions made by Sandy and Jose are both interesting. I have
another one: The Dwarves have massive Machines that work as Vessels
which can be used by all Dwarves of a certain factory, community,
city block etc. These are not pieces of Mostal's mind, they are
Machines, tools made to help the dwarves. Think of them as magical
computers. Some of them may have "spell matrices" as well. Thus, when
doing official work, dwarves can cough up enormous spells and
maintain them easily. The oldest computers have "AI" and are of
course True Mostali of various kinds.

That was I wondered, do really anyone ON GLORANTHA think this is
true?
Perhaps you are right, there are some Malkioni who does so. About the
tripartite Being (soul, body and spirit - hey, the Triangle of Law!),
yes I think most believ so.

Probably.

I think some Rokari Wizard are of this view, and certainly the Brithini and
Vadeli think so.
