I guess though it's a pretty minor role for him.
I guess the question is do you want a prankster or a approaching Eurmal trickster? Like James suggested anyone can be a practical jokester but if you want magic to directly support that you might need a real trickster deity. I think the question still remains as to whether there are any benign tricksters in Glorantha.
