True, there are other ways around it (which always make me wonder why anyone bothered to categorize common magic into feats and charms -- wouldn't any player decide that their common magic is all feats if they intend to become a devotee some day, and all charms if they're an animist?)

If you're an Aeolian, or other mixed worshipper, you don't get any special benefits for concentrating magic, so you won't be able to use common magic as an active ability.
