I think I had a character who ended up at POW 1 after DI! Luckily, he did have some stored MP. But despite the inconvenience, he was very glad to be alive.

King of Sartar mentions the kolating (e.g. Dunorl Tooth-winds). Page 245 implies that these spirit-masters are a standard, if rare, part of the tribe.
I view shamans as important in mediating between the tribe and the primal air, and the spirits of air. The Orlanth cult provides a more rigid framework to both protect the initiates and guide their access to magic. Orlanth priests might view kolatings like idiots savant, able to deal with mighty spirits without knowing the proper mythical framework.
