This smacks to me of an argument from the rules. The congregation is explicitly linked to the worship of the Invisible God which the Brithini do not do.
Digressing a bit, I don't think everything spectacular that non-Zzaburi can do is the result of a Zzaburi spell. IMO by following the logical laws of their caste, the non-Zzaburi can become powerful in their own way. A Horal could be blindingly fast in conflict, march continuously for at least a week or he could shrug off the weapon-blows of lesser men because his fidelity to the Eternal Laws has lifted him above mere mortals.

It's weakening but the Brithini still do it.

They have all the time in the world to recover.
