I think the point is not that our biology doesn't work, but that it can't explain everything. Trolls can digest rock and if necessary, live on just air. Lots of creatures fly. I'm all for biology having a place in Glorantha, and I'd expect Gloranthan humans to be subject to pretty much the same constraints we are.

My first thought is that this is merely partaking of the Taker, but not Oblivion. Perhaps it is a slippery slope, however. (Have you read HeroQuest Voices on the Aldryami?)
