You already know my opinion: it's not important. I can't imagine many cases
where someone would have both Ceremony/Spirit and Ceremony/Sorcery.

Besides the fact that in some cults (those who have shamans), the
distinction between Ceremony/Divine and Ceremony/Spirit is likely to be
very small.

One could also argue that since the God Learners practiced all 3 kinds of
magic, under the superficial dissimilarities, in Glorantha, Ceremony is

Ceremony.

As you point out, most characters don't have significant Ceremony. Hence,
the complexity of a subskill is wasted.
