It needn't be misapplied because of Atyar's origins.

There's lots of variation in the RQ3 writeups (cf Lords of Terror p64 for discussion on differences between Carmanian and Dorastran versions of the Cult). How Hero Wars will treat this is unknown to me (although Jeff's comment seems to imply that Issaries has had the same thought - or he may just mean that it was something that I thought of and not anything official).

I don't think so for the simple reason that such spells are more difficult than pure sorcery orders. In turf fights, the pure orders are going to win. Only in Heortland/Holy Country and Safelster will they prosper.
