My problem is that it assumes that the Votanki don't know their spiritual arse from their theistic elbow. They've had 2000 years of contact with foreign magicians, surely one of them must have cottoned on. Misapplied worship as a mainstream practice should only be used when the religion concerned has a theological reason for it (such as the Aeolians). To state that they are weak because they practice misapplied worship is an extraordinary clunky solution.
