That's true, but I find Jerome's idea that she gives no
(tangible at least) magic rather appealing. I would suggest
something like this: the only magic of Elamle-Ata's cult is
that it enables the Elamlites to comprehend and worship
aspects of Aldrya in a more functional fashion than humans
normally can (i.e. less of a misapplied worship penalty).
