Um, I compared Technocracy with Malkioni......Especially for 2nd Age God
Learners who induced analysis of the World to Four World of Magical
Othersides. And official might avoid to talk anything about God
Learners.....lest God Learners will appear in the future schedule of Greg,
And I linked Mysticism to Tradition Mages....

In HW 1st Edition, the term "Zzaburi" only appeared in Mystic Section, p.218, IIRC. So I intentionally warped your statement.

And we know other group of liers and atheists, Mostali. And Vadeli. Maybe you need Brithos and Sorcerer Supreme to stop Blue Vadeli returning.

In RQ terms, Outside Sorcerers need Immortality Spell, but Brithini don't
need it.

Vadel revolted against Zzabur and Malkion when "Malkion" was still living in RM texts. Zzabur killed Malkion in Abiding Book Credo. Of course, Greg might be able to change it.
