And you're correct but not going far enuf - using the easiest example, as i see it, a priest calling on Shadowthrone (ie: Rath' ST) is accessing Meanas the same way a mage whose warren is Meanas is doing so.
AND, just to complicate matters, some Shadow priests will also be mages with the natural talent to access Meanas
Coming at it from another angle, Edur women who were witches could access Kurald Emurlahn - this was a natural talent, 2/3 of male Edur had it too (tho not Fear, Rhulad or Trull) the same as. Since they had enslaved all those Andii souls, it appears that the Letheri Edur could acess Kurald Galain too. AND the Krisnan were using chaos, via their link with the Crip God.
Pust has access to Thyr, Mokra, Meanas AND Rashan. He's a High priest of Shadow, possibly designated Magi in the HHS, yet in TB he describses himself as a high mage. Now, in this particular case we could say those four warrens are all related, but even so, is Pust a mage, or a priest? And my response is, he's both.
My point being natural talent and godly affinity and not exclusive. Banaschar had access to D'riss because he had access to D'rek, but his access to Mokra may have been natural talent, AND/OR a gift from his god.
- Abyss, naturally talented, naturally.
