Isn't this why Kyger Litor priestesses became shaman and are encouraged = to become lay members of Daka Fall. It doesn't *seem* to make sense = that they would do this if it was part of the nature of things anyway. =20
Also, part of the strength of UZ culture is having a list of ancestral = spirits to call on. In many cases there are living Mistress race trolls = who knew the spirits in life. Isn't this why spells are cheaper for = trolls?
Much of the dangers of teaching spells is summoning spirits - who may be = hostile - and fighting them until they are forced to submit to the = priests/priestess will. That is one of the reasons why priests are = important. Initiates need spirit magic and getting knowledge of a spell = can be dangerous. If it wasn't extremely dangerous anyone would go = summon grandpa Jed and learn his spells.
Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. I'm relying heavily on my memory = and I don't have my RuneQuest resources near by.
