Fine. Rephrased for the Aeolians, this sounds like: Merely because the main religion is sorcerous does not mean that every entity worshipped has to be an essence.
Besides, the penalty for misapplication wouldn't be any different for theists worshipping spirits animistically on the side, animists sacrificing to deities, or saint-revering people sacrificing to deities.

Did I say so? What I was wondering about was the means how the Dara Happan population was forced to support their emperors' rites.

You mean the rules which have theist worship for Darjiinians by default, especially in the light of the companion volume about Glorantha? ;-)
Which wasn't a mistake, either, just a change.
