Since character improve by spending a fixed number of HP this is already true without neding the extra rules. Ie they either spend all the HP on their gods skills or spend some on some spirit magic too which must therefore mean the two sets increase more slowly.

Exactly. Its a stated rule within the setting not a rule of the setting. It can be broken. Its a choice. Hence unsuitable to be enforced by the rules of the game.

And this is not enforced by the rules. Because it works better that we undrstand this and then use the abstract rules to play about with the ideas in it.
