Fair enough, but there are also going to be other ways to get magic. But the bottom line is that feats *should* be extraordinary and exceptional. All Heortling adults are at least initiates. If there is some piddling -3 improv penalty applied to the standard ability rating of 17, then its a case of 14 vs natural world modifier of 14. In other words, there will scarcely be a cliff someone won't be Running Up, or a poor Earth daimon not being Commanded! As I understand it, HW2 will also be emphasising some of the practical effect of the *obligations* on devitees, too, which may slightly help restore the balance.
