[Rq-rules] Spirits cults versus religion

[Andrew Larsen]

I totally agree with your basic point about spirit cults granting a range of
different things. A lot of the more spirit level cults published in Tales of
the Reaching Moon work this way.  Heroes might have a spirit spell and a
divine spell, or a skill and spell.  They also impose restrictions of
various sorts.  
    Legendary abilities might be better acquired through a quest instead of
just through worship.  They're legendary because they're hard to acquire.
