Sense Assassin in kind of silly. Sense Law makes sense as it focuses on a Rune. IMO, Humakti should have gotten a Sense Undead skill instead the Detect Undead or Sense Assassin.

Krashti get Sense Law. In the past games we had following: Sense Lunar Sense Dragon Sense Spirit Sense <Rune>

What you are describing has its own literary genre LitRPG LitRPG - Wikipedia. "RuneQuest Sight" can be viewed (and is by me) as manifistation of this.

I man after my own heart.

I avoid all of this because in my world all santients can actually see their character sheets and made decisions based on that information.

So do those spells

I think that the cult of Gark the Calm is either an offshoot of the Cult of Silence and most likely allied to.

Hmm, I would say they used Mindlink and Mindspeech and this is why these spells are no longer around. 🙂 Anyway, players in my game just discovered and contacted a Spirit of Silence and are able to get a couple of interesting spells from it, but are of course obligated to total silence on the days when summoning it. Lets see where this takes them.

I was hoping for a little more detail on its magic and why it spread so quickly. What was the attraction?

Is there any information, besides Guide to Glorantha, on the Cult of Silence?

This being a game, I do not worry bout that.

IMG yes they do, because my game is GAME centric. People, intellegent beings, see cause and effect and make deductions based on observations.

Yes

What's good for a goose is good for the gander.

Ok, then why not have a single Worship Lightbringers skill to cover both Orlanth and Issaries?

Makes sense, but it seems that its a house rule for now. Is that correct?

And what if they are not? That would be 6 Worship skills.

A shaman and his followers may be worshiping multiple spirits. If these spirits grant Rune magic how do the are these pools reagianed? Would they have to have individual Worship <spirit> skills? Seems excessive. Can they also know their CHA worth of Rune magic from each spirit?

As presented now, there is no true sorcery using vs. spirit magic using sages. They are all spirit magic users and some use sorcery as well. I suspect you are correct, but we will only be able to see this once the rules for Mlkioni sorcery are published.

The only reason I would think that it would stop working after the shapechange, is that previously it was stated in various places that spells cast on weapond with multiple striking surfaces, like spears with both sharpened ends, or animals with multiple attack forms (or humans), had to be placed on a specific end/attack. In the case above, the Ironhand would have most likely been cast to affect a punch or a kick, or a head butt and bears do not have those forms of attacks. If the spell was lets sy cast to improve the humans bite attack, and in certain situations that would make sense, then I do not see a reason as to why it not continue to work in bear form on the bite.

5 minutes in RQ3

Sorcery has been mistreated in all versions of RQ and its a shame.

So various Holiday Dorastor supplements have dungeons and scenrious for this type of play. Not it Prax, but you could adapt. If you want something more specific, I can direct you better.

I can just see ZZ getting a trolling a Fireblade having it cast on the Humatki iron swords to "lessen the damage"

If its a Chaos Feature (which also gives the character a chance of becoming a Broo) then YES!!! even if its not visible. If its not a Chaos Feature, but attunes the character to the Chaos Rune (similar to becoming an initiate of a Chaos cult), then YES!!! If its neither, then how is the charater tainted?
