The 'weaker spirit magic because they are from a theist culture' explanation seems reasonable from a Gloranthan POV (though still somewhat lacking in game fun value to me, though).
(as a quick rules fix for those characters who are apprentice shamans who intend to become full shamans, perhaps allowing releasing spirits for those characters who have a Patron shaman or other close connection, something that will include most apprentice shaman types but probably few others)
Cheers
