Lunar magic isn't Dara Happan magic. DH stuff is only part of what the Lunars do. They use DH stuff, and Carmanian sorcery, and Chaos powers, and Thelayan magic. In short they use everything they can get their hands on and make work.
Some magics may 'work better' than others at various times and places, but that is more a matter of circumstances, IMO. The kind of magic people use is bound to be adapted to their culture and physical requirements....
