Just what would be common magic feats then? The Flesh Man magic is
listed as being talents, not feats. Where exactly would they be
getting/learning these common magic feats from? That's the odd part
I found about the paragraph on page 118. It talks about and
references 'Common Magic Feats'. But I don't see where (for
example) a Heortling would get these. The only source I can see for
feats would be when you become a devotee and get them in/under your
affinities. I guess that's the key thing that is confusing me and
makes me wonder what they are referencing. If this paragraph had
not been there I'd never have questioned it. Of course maybe an
initiate can keep those feats and still concentrate as they are not
as tied to their god as a devotee is....
