all Common Magic, typically Concentration on Common Magic is limited to Talents only. So for that reason, being able to use Charms or Spells "actively" might be seen as odd in Heortling society - or any other predomiantly Theistic culture.

Right. Using other, non-talent CM abilities actively would be seen as an oddity (well, using *any* CM talents actively would bee seen as odd by Heortlings, who *expect* a person to initiate to a god).

FWIW, I think a person can tell what *sort* of magical ability a person is using, just from how he "casts the spell", even in CM. So a person getting a +2 bonus from his CM would still appear to do something to invoke it, and that something can be recognizable in a general way as a feat/spell/talent/charm.
