The Storm Bullies differ.

I should have qualified my original statement as I meant there's probably a very wise idea why the Lunars don't use Chaotic Magic in Prax. Given that you've just demolished the "Awaken the Devil", the reason's probably something like:

1. The Praxians are well-adapted to fighting Chaos so the added impact of Lunar Chaotic units would be negated.
2. There is so much chaos in Prax that it threatens to usurp the Lunar control over their own Chaos with harmful consequences
