Why? Perhaps POW works more like a mental muscle. If you work hard and strengthen your body, does someone else get weaker? So why can't you strenghten your soul, or spirit? I use a model of living things convert food to MP, and, through learning and focus, MP to POW. But that's my Glorantha.

happened.
Because it allows more variety, and more MGF. If the universal myths were recorded in black and white, and you came up with a really cool myth-idea for a little corner of Glorantha that needed a tweak in the major mythology, you would have to suspend disbelief to make it work. But if the myths of different cultures are vaguely similar but very ideocentric, then we all have more freedom to build our own Gloranthas.
Oh - and Robin Law's answer, too.
Just so Neil doesn't chew me out for posting and not mentioning Glorantha Con in Victoria this July.... y'all come!
