A similar arguement may be made for Orlanthi Geases and so I believe it is important to keep sight of what ends the restrictions are used for. IMO the Malkioni do not adopt the vows to refrain from the world as the mystics do, they do it to clear the mind and soul of some of the corrupting influences of this gross world of matter. By accessing the Higher levels of existance more readily, their sorcery is correspondingly more potent.
