So the God of the Dwarves and the Invisible God must provide theistic magic simply because some sources describe them as gods? IMO when the Zistorites thought about Zistor, they thought of him as the Supreme God. That Machine that tore down Esrolia and was defeated by Orlanth was really Zistor-made-Flesh (or Zistor-within-the-world) or a Malkion-analog.

In which case why not give everybody in the whole world affinities and feats instead of mucking around with the four magic systems?
