I'm sorry? I'm trying to understand how you can claim that a theist can join a new aspect or subcult with the same ease as a sorcerer learning a new grimoire. The rules make it clear that a devotee is restricted in the number of affinities (in time and behaviour) whereas the sorcerer has no such limitation.

But I didn't ask about initiates, I wanted to know how a devotee could do so. You made the statement, could you please substantiate it?

I didn't ask about "dancing magics of Boomshakalak, I asked about affinities. If the dancing magics are a affinity, then presumably the hero has learned it from a subcult which costs 10% of his time.
