Hum. Well, yes you can't just go out and alter the basic structure of the cosmos without some support. So normally you need lots of people back home pushing spiritual power down the line to you.
But Cule's Third Rule of HeroQuests states:
All rules have exceptions.
And Harrek, who as far as I can tell gutted and bound the Polar Bear God without the slightest support from anyone, may be one of the exceptions. So may Androgeus.

Well, it depends on circumstances. People whose homes are about to be overwhelmed by enemies are liable to sacrifice more of their spiritual power to save themselves than people sitting comfortably at home being asked to back up the latest campaign on some far away border.
But remember, knowledge is as important as power and where you strike is as important as how hard.
