This still worries me (although my worries are chiefly rule-based, not GD-based). If Integration is being retconned out of Glorantha, what happens to characters with Talents gained from it? Admittedly, not having seen the rules in any form, I'm working without a basis, but it seems to me that no mechanism so far seen other than Integration allows an Animist to gain a 'personal', reusable power, rather than having to use limited-availability spirits. Looks like Animists get short-changed in magic again (unless they're getting a couple of dozen fetishes each, or are allowed daily free trips to the Spirit Plane to refill). Do Animists have ANY freely-reusable magic, like Theists and Sorcerors?
