Agreed.

"In General, Gloranthan magic is visible to the eye when brought into existance." (various descriptions follow) - HW p163.

No mention is made of any form of magic getting any 'you don't see this' though *blessings* would probably be more numinous than blatant.  God works in mysterious ways, His wonders to preform.

Also now all Sorcery is specifically done though the talismans too. Very hermetic of them... I rather like it.
