I'd agree there, you don't have to stand chanting, waving your arms around and doing Doctor Strange impersonations to invoke magic. I can't imagine a Yinkini, say, reciting verse before leaping off a cliff (safely), he'd just DO it. Gloranthan theist magic ought to be part of the psyche, not some learned and invoked external force. As such, they become part of the character's own abilities, not a tackedon separate set. I never did like the idea of all magic (including or excluding sorcery) being visible, at least not blatantly visible AS magic.
