All Followers and Worshipers, is, for most gods in most settings, a hell of a lot smaller category than All Humans. From the examples, and, failing that, the fact that anyone you're targeting either is, or soon will be, a subset of All Spellcasters, I'd call it a Rare category.

I'm not certain what (Analyzing, +100%) would give you, but I can see it showing you how worthy/devout/pure the worshipper is, so leave it in for now.

Never heard of him before. Nice to know my name carried the weight of the pulp genre behind it.

Brings it down to 70 points plus thirteen points per spell.

Unless this was a 200-hour dream, flash, or epiphany, I don't see how they could "learn" it in that time. Or, to put it another way, I think what I've statted up is the ability to cause this insight, flash or epiphany.
