Ulerias Community magics do have a great effect. But its more general and less controllable than the Ernaldan ones. Ulerians magics can break down social structures as well as build them up.
Basically, Ernalda encourages love and fertility where appropriate. Uleria encourages love and fertility, appropriate, or inappropriate. She is the goddess of illicit love as well as licit love, understanding between friends, but also understanding between enemies and social outcasts, fertility of crops, and fertility of vermin and pests. Her magics are under the control of her worshippers to some extent, but not entirely.
Ulerians can thus fulfill somewhat of a counterculture role. They have definate damn hippy tendencies. Certainly, I think the guardians of the social order (especially in straight laced Dara Happa, but to some extent everywhere) are not fond of the cult.
The love of Orlanth and Ernalda is the love that leads to a marriage and a family. But Uleria also supports doomed lovers, affairs, and more - as well as happy marriages.
