Yes, he seems to be another exception.

This seems to be more the Lunar way changing an existing god or developing a new one from an old one. Whether it is possible to worship Huvaran now or not I don't know. Maybe the Rinliddi never directly worshipped Huvaran and their collateral worship now supports to bat.

Given that magic is only available as the cult secret, I'd suggest that is a specific bit of Lunar magic rather than an ability to get magic from the spirit plane.

Although Makabaeus has a node on the spirit plane I get the impression it's purely a bolt hole and they can only draw power from the Red Moon. This may be a restriction placed on Makabaeus by the Goddess which is lifted when they have achieved sufficent status in the cult. Basically those who can be trusted to use the essence plane in the interests of the Goddess rather than themselves.

His magic is purely Lunar. He appears to be the Lunar variation of Vaskaru much as Yanafal Tarnils is the Lunar version of Humakt. Remember ILH2 is from a Lunar perspective which won't be accepted by everyone in the empire.

That's what a lot of the Lunar immortals are - go-betweens to bind cultures to the Moon. In general though their magic comes from the Moon not the world their culture got their magic from. The Lunars would say the Moon is a superior source of magic however when the Moon falls they're going to be in the same position as the Orlanthi during the Windstop.
