Why do we have to stick to those? Look, if you wanted to do that, that's fine but it would have really helped to let us know that from the beginning. It's not like a modern large-company-game with dozens of books each containing new rules. In this case, we have exactly two books (well boxes at the time) with all of the rules being discussed. I've never known anyone who ran any RQIII game without a good number, if not all, of the magic rules out of GoG, even if not playing in the world. Most of those came straight out of the RQII core, in some form or another, and so the inclusion seems more evident from that.
Now, we did implement different magic systems in different worlds based on RQ, with good and bad luck balancing them out of the box, but that would be a specific implementation issue, not the core rules themselves.

The Gloranthan material has nothing to do with anyone not running Glorantha, and is not part of the core rules of RQ3 (edit: barring the very limited material in the Glorantha book, which gives no extra spells, cult writeups nor any of the Gloranthan-specific sorcery addenda); I was willing to give a few non-core spells for the sake of argument, but I'm in no way required to assume other Gloranthaisms that are irrelevant to the way many people ran the game, and I'd kindly suggest if you think I'm goalpost moving to refuse to do so that you take your attitude to someone else.

So, in other words, you want to pick and choose what parts are allowed into the discussion, and only want those that support your point. I don't have an attitude in any way about this. I'm simply amused by the logic, or lack thereof, and pointed it out in an obviously tongue-n-cheek way. Sorry, if it offended you. I'd suggest not getting too offended by someone giving you a good nature ribbing, but that'd probably be lost in the vagaries of the internet too.
