And that's where I disagree. Because I see just as many things in specialized magic that seem like they would fit in with those common magics that are "homey" and bunches of common magics that read as "powerful". Especially as you branch across the many books and not just the HQ book itself.

Nope. Your solution would be the maximum twinkishness, except for the cult restrictions.

I think it was on an earlier thread that it was written that way because they don't have mysticism rules.

Now, I can agree with that. In fact, that would remove a lot of this problem. But apparently the 3 worlds thing is important to Glorantha.
