This statement seems to imply that because a being is worshiped in
Teshnos its magic would be different.
Discounting misapplied worship, this assumption is not necessarily
correct. Yes, if a god as worshipped by animists the method would
probably be animist, i.e.-misapplied. And yes, beings often usurp
local Common Magic as if it was theirs.
However, just because an entity is from Teshnos does NOT imply that it
will be worshipped with any/all methods of worship.

Is there a specific reference for the association of Lopers with Emilla? I do not recall this being so in canon.

Whereas YGWV is always true, the supposed origins of this word are fallacious.
