It has already been suggested that CON should regenerate MPs, and POW holds them. That covers what you say about spirits and gods needing worshippers.

That would change things a lot, in RQ the POW spent on divine magic and enchantments can be regained through 'magical' experience, switching to CON or other stats is a big step. Maybe permanent fatigue points could be spent and regained somehow. How about getting a 'fatigue tick' when you reduce yourself to 0 fatigue in a stressful situation? You thus learn to stretch yourself magically and physically further by actually stretching yourself to the limit. Folks who play really safe and keep huge matrices and crystals to back themselves up don't progress as fast.
The major drawback with this system is it resurrects the much-hated Fatigue Points system, that so many referees either ignore or replace.
