Not when we played there!
I think Vormain is portrayed only as outsiders see it, and it's intended to be a mysterious place about which little accurate is known.

The cover of the Lunar book will feature a priest from Rinliddi...

I believe there's a distinction: it is a magical effect, but no spell has been used. For example, there's no spell to dispel.
(I believe that most of the Malkioni Peter Metcalfe mentioned achieve immortality by spells. A few might be heroes, and unaging by completing the appropriate quest.)
It's quite possible that in Glorantha, digging a canal wouldn't be sufficient. You'd also have to convince the local water spirit/god to flow through it. (This is not to say that the waters would defy the law of physics, but without the right rituals, the water might just seep into the soil and not reach the end of the canal.) I see Dave Pearton has suggested specifics.
I played my Agimori character (Lwezichwe, for those who've read Tales) somewhat like a Spartan. Yes, they're superior warriors, but they're also held to a much higher standard than lesser men.
