Actually, there's nothing in there, either. OiD is presented at the "you are cannon fodder, stop asking awkward questions" level. Ernalda's magic stops - that's all we know. No mythic level explanation given, nothing one could base a HQ on. That just isn't what the book's about.

Then Greg's Glorantha is in direct contradiction of standard mythology. (Don't start the "he can if he wants" nonsense - of course he can and of course if he does, we either adopt if we want to, or laugh and ignore if we want to, same as any other won't-fit variation from anyone else.)

The question is what Glorantha the OP is operating in (sorry, via PDA I can't check who that was). I'm assuming the standard as-published one until (s)he says otherwise.
