They do not get their powers from the gods. They get their powers from their Cabal Item....and what is that ? a Head of a Magician. Not any magician...but one of those from SO long ago that they knew how to do stuff that todays magicians would call mythical. Not only is the object inherantly magical (come on, a flesh head that doesnt rot?) But the Original ragers, who were created by magic, fled and were able to duplicate the magic resistance in a much weaker form...why was it weaker? not because it was from the gods and not from magic (wouldnt something from the gods be more powerfull than something merely from mortal magic?) but because they were WARRIORS and they couldnt get the magic just right. They imbued their half-ass magic into their cabal Item, the Bloody head, and tap its magical energy to gain their magical affects...that they use to fight mages. Talk about hypocrits. Especially, if you read the story, the reason they started hating magic in the first place...because THEY were doing the raping, pillaging, and destroying of villages...and the MAGES wanted to stop THEM from destroying villages. So they got pissed, and have hated mages ever since. Not only have 99% of all ragers NOT read the story and know their own origins. But isnt it Ironic, that so many ragers claim to hate magic because mages killed their village/family/etc....when it was the original mages that stopped the original ragers from doing the same thing? Hypocrits.
