I can see this being the case in Prax: it is, having read that, IMG. It may be the case in Sartar. What do you see happening in cultures that have no hunting tradition but do have spirit magic? Do the priests "herd" spirits? Grow them in fields? Maybe that's why civilised places have fixed temples that the Praxians don't need: you have to settle down in one place to tend crops of either wheat or spirits? Maybe the temple-grown spirits are tamer, easier to beat in spirit combat? But the free-range ones have more "flavour" - in the sense of more personalised special effects with the spells?

Well, to take a RW example, I can be well-disposed to you for asking good
questions about Peloran/Orlanthi relations, be at odds with your actions
of quoting the entire Digest in the process, and be impressed by your
prompt apology. Does that help?
On the poll:
>(a) Came into Glorantha via gaming, as opposed to fiction? (KoS, Gray,
etc.)
Sort of. I met Glorantha through gaming, but KoS was the first
Glorantha-related publication I bought and the one that got me hooked.
>(b) Still play Glorantha-based RPG's (RQ, other home-grown variants) Yes. As often as possible.
>(c) Seriously write Gloranthan based essays or fiction (Myths, Stories,
Poems, etc?)
Don't know about seriously, but I spend more time writing than I do
playing.
