Maybe a link to a rune provides many magics, and that each god/hero only  gets
a subset of them.  So, Harry Hailstone and Larry Lightning will get  
different spells
when each forges a link to the Storm Rune.  From a rules standpoint,  what are
the skills, passions and personality traits of the mythological being or  
hero-
quester: these will determine what magics they get.  Also, what acts  do they
do to forge a link to a rune?  These will also influence what  spells are 
available
to a cult, or what boons are granted to a heroquester.

P.S. Very cool website, Mr. Phipp.
