I particularly like this immunity to pagan magic idea. Could Iron armour be enchanted to allow divine magic but suppress sorcery? In warfare it would also be particularly useful to keep some knights in unenchanted armour ready to storm magical defenses and attack the most magical units.

It's exactly this kind of attitude that puts people off Glorantha. New person gets insulted for asking a simple question. Of course some people might like Glorantha to become/remain inaccessible to 'dumb animals'.
On the subject of darksense.
I like the idea of darksense using darkness as a medium, but I think we
shouldn't try to analyze the exact physics of how it works. I prefer it
to remain some remnants of a magical nature. After all earthsense
and elfsense can't be defined in simple terms and require other senses
as well. Elfsense requires touch and probably sight, earthsense works
by detecting air currents etc, using a whole range of senses.
