There's no "o" or "y" in Ruiri either, but do you hear me complaining? ;-) (This could be whisky and wergeld all over again...)

So does this correspond to what Greg was previously calling "Communal worship", in the theistic case? So you'd get a certain amount of "broad but shallow" magic from being initiated into adulthood/the religion (Orlanth&Ernalda, Yelm, blah), and then lose some of that as you undergo "deeper" initiations?
Or is it something yet broader? Magic you can learn without subscribing to any reiligion or "system" as such?
Cheers,
Alex.
