(large amounts of interesting but wordy scholasticism deleted)
This is an aside about multiple and misaplied worship:
Greg had this much to say about multiple worship systems, the below being paraphrased (probably badly) -- any errors are from my flawed memory. =) Honest.
You are allowed to use one magic system. If you wish to switch to another system, you loose _everything_ you had in the previous one and start over from scratch.
If you use one system such as Sorcery, then one cannot use theistic or animistic *worship* elements (I don't know about a sorcerer trying to use fetishes, for example but intergration is certainly not an option)
Only if you have transcendent entitities such as StormBull/Urox do you have the option of using both systems without penalty and even then there's usually some difficulty or barrier involved -- Full Bulls vs True Bulls. Similar things are, I understand, applicable to the sprawling 'thing in the basement' that the Trolls worship. But then the underworld is where all the Worlds colide and get mixed up. (Its Kyger Litor -- she's a desert topping *and* a floor wax)
Illumination, of course, breaks the rules but most folks just can't hack it <-- that's my opinion. I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to have one.
Hope this helps, really.
