That's pretty much how I have always viewed it.

The Death Rune was, originally, Conflict if I recall. Then things changed. I'd say combat is whatever you use to smite your foes with. Most use death or something rude and unpleasant manifestation of nature.

Asto the affinities all being called combat, well -- at least if you leave one cult with combat fr another, you mght not loose all your magic. There's always was conflict among the gods for the various offices and combat is a big one.
