FLAG - we were looking for things to note for the new version of the rulebook. This would appear to be one. I'm not sure what the answer is, but it's something to look at.

Although I believe the "norm" for Heortlings (though not for other cultures) is to be an initiate?

I'm just starting to look at this myself, but I'd guess this isn't the right list for the purpose. I'd started things on the main Glorantha list - you know, the one that used to be a "Digest". If you've got ideas...

Though being weird should not be compulsory.

And as Mike (I think) said, this is one of the things I hate about the concentration system. I hate having my role-playing head and my gamist head pulling me in opposite directions. If you could just use CM actively, so it was worth having, that would help. But a few more +1 augments... wow, big deal. That or a +5 to the real magic. Hard choice.
