Boy am I unqualified to answer, but I have a theory: Game mechanics and Game Balance. Heortlings (which I am most familiar with) HQ P.48 - the common magic available is Flesh man talents. As we all know, Heortlings are primarily Theistic - so when they devote or concentrate their magic, then the loss of talents bites.
Refer to HQ P.108 under the italicised Theism. You lose all talents, charms, fetishes, spirits, scriptures etc etc, only retaining affinities or feats from any source. This was discussed on the list a while back.
