Because there is some magical thing or presence over there, nearby, and it
requires some attention. The godi has a prayer to do that, and he goes and
offers it a cow or so.

In the hopes?
Either you do know what you are worshipping for (help me in war, feed my
children), or you do not. (Oh you "strange power here," accept this cow and
leave me alone., or "give me the magic you promised.")
One day that thing over there talks to the godi and they strike up a deal.
>and when it miraculously WORKS you have the
>start of a Misapplied Worship?
We have a deal, and that is that.
Misapplied? Hey, that rock an I have a deal, I have this feat now, and that
is that. Orlanth didn't care.

Sure this would work.
The Kolating says, "You're in trouble. You want Kolat's help? Well, you can
either offer regular sacrifice to Kolat, the way the godi tells you to do,
for Feats; or you can come to the spirit world with me and get some real
help."
So on the next holy day, flying to Kero Fin, you are a little slow. And you don't go on the adventure but sleep in the hall and wake up after everyone is home. But heck, you got that spirit power and saved your cookies!
Misapplied? Game term. Mixed, game term. Is this helpful or just confusing?
