No; common magic is listed in the books (including the ones I write!) as feats, charms, spells, and talents. That's not a distinction I use - effectively they're all talents IMG.

The rules as written say that a concentrated theist loses all 'talents, charms, fetishes, spirits, scriptures, spells, and grimoires', but that they retain all their common magic feats. It's also possible for an initiate to concentrate their magic. I modify both of these rules.
