I got into Glorantha with HQ1, and the setting I fell in love with was the Trader Princes & Wenelia
/// So did I, and so went the Fay Jee "blue falcons" campaign for 32 games in 3 years !
Was misapplied magic purely a mechanical artifact of HQ1, or was it an attempt to mechanically "model" something that an extant element of the setting? In other words, was there a previous, in-setting idea that venerating Orlanth as a saint was fundamentally inferior to making sacrifices to him as a god?
/// I never cared much about the "misapplied worship" rule, so no extra HP to buy "spells from a God" or "spirits from a Saint". I never used these rules. Instead, what might happen is there is a limit to Magics learned in a "wrong" context. But said limits were never applied. We thus had an animist of the raccoon totem who was also a pretty good "sorceress", etc.
I just didn't have the heart to make Magics acquistion more restrictive.
