As ritual magic, backed up by priests and godi, performed on the correct days, at the correct place and with generous sacrifices, a Dar chief can perform some very useful - in fact, necessary feats. For example, Dar provides a clan with its magic to Cast Out of Clan, Instill Pride, Invoke Wyter, Protect Tula, Make Clan Ring, Rally Clan, and Summon Clan. Want to make a Clan Ring? Well, you need to perform the Orlanth Allfather Make Clan Ring ceremony - which comes from Dar Allfather.
Can many chiefs perform this magic without ritual magic? Probably not - but that's not the point.
