My understanding is that this is entirely cannonical. I'd personally approach this by giving spells names like "Call the Rain of Fire from the Sky to Smite the Infidel Rokari" and such. In other words, I'd put all the restrictions in the names. Gives 'em a nice ring as well to my mind. Not sure that this is how Issaries handles the matter, but then I've no player sorcerors so I don't really care what the rules are...
Cheers,
