Usually an act of will. But IMG most Malkioni who pray to God or to His Saints are unaware that they're using MPs or POW. They pray, and are answered or not. Blessings appear, invisibly, from on high.

Sounds like an incorrectly performed ritual to me. =46rom one POV, casting a spell is a mini-HQ, and it must be done properly. From another, incorrect ritual is offensive to the gods. Otherwise, proper focus might be needed to access the inner and outer =
powers. Etc.
All POV are right, somewhere, in Glorantha; at least
all coherent ones.
