I think the problem is probably the language barrier. I often find that when Im dealing with people overseas who learned english. They seem to be using the dictionary definition of "versatile" rather than what the common english speaker thinks it means. Sometimes when Im talking to someone that I know has learned english I have to look words up to get what was meant.

In this case, being able to be equally magical in a couple of categories seems to make them versatile. Equal as compared with most pretenders that have a couple of magic channels aleady selected and their cost tends to force that you say in those. I dont think its meant to reflect that its a good chassis for a rainbow god.
