Well, if it was only -5 or so, the augment would have been the same. Like you say, probably not worth calculating. The point is that it had a use, however impaired.

Absolutely. Some abilities are closer than others, no doubt, and easier to make distinct. To the extent that two similar abilites do exist together, it can be a challenge to make them play differently. Improv mods are the key here. As you point out well, above. If, say, two players had been working on the temple, each with separate contests, one using their Temple relationship as base, and the other their diety relationship, it becomes particularly important to put a mod on the diety relationship so that one can see how it differs from the temple relationship.
