At least the book "wrath of god" doesnt say anything completely off-universe like Tenser's, Mordenkainen's and Kellek's books as they are obviously from a Dungeons and Dragons heritage(I have absolutely no idea from where Raal's comes from), as are the ability scores, armor class, weapon damages and combat.
About clerics/paladins for the Valar, I guess it could work the same as in D&D, if the Mayar are some sort of avatar from that entity I think it is viable to think one's would receive "divine inspiration" from the same entities. Eru, (just like Ao from D&D Forgotten Realms) is mostly like the creator that doesn't meddle into mortal affairs anymore, kinda like our own planet "God" (whatever the name you pick to call).
So if I would pick some Valar for divine inspiration it should be the most opposite valar from Melkor, in which case seems to be Manwe and Varda. But I think any Valar but Melkor is fair game as it's the case on Dungeons and dragons where there are plenty of Gods and Demigods to pick around.
now what to do with the names of the mage books? name after the handful of wizards that appear trough the books?
