Christoph Luehr asks, quite sensibly:

In the "Deluxe RQ" box, I do believe. (OF all places.) Book 5,
Glorantha, I presume. Presumably this is yet another item which is
about to vapourise forever, as neither AH nor Chaosium have the rights
to publish it. D'oh.

Normally, an initiate in this position gets to keep all his magic, aside
from any the spirit of reprisal takes off him. (Under no circumstance
is it _renewable_, of course.) _But_, as I suspect Christoph may be
getting at, Orlanth/Humakt is something of a Special Case; the mythic
precedent would suggest there's a formalised severence ritual, which may
well involve on the one hand, being protected form the apostacy SoR (I
forget if there is one, though), while on the other having to give up
all magic learned from Ex-Brother. Or at least that something on these
lines be not uncommon -- I'd not claim it as a universal practice.
Afterthought: I forget the exact effects of RQ3 Excommunication. Hrm.
Betting he gets to keep his Bladesharp 8, though,
Big caveat, here...
Alex.
