The IU is not set up in imitation of a "Sorcerous" Church or Institution, and does not use Grimoires (outside of the various Immortals who provide Lunar-Sorcery, of course). While the university Chain is "like" the sorcerous Chain of Veneration, it is actually based on the purely Lunar Chain of Reverance. Students at IU worship a variety of Lunar Immortals - each pathway will have its "preferred" Immortals of course. But Player heroes being Player Heroes, I'm sure someone in hearths worships Chaghatishi Moon Bow, And someone in Security is an Irripi ontor Pen Pusher.

It is Lunar magic, and not misapplied.
