I'm 80% sure nobody was, but think there remains a risk that the tadpole is going to be a factor. Hopefully not, and I don't think it will be, but I know folk have argued otherwise.

Though with respect to Gale, I think his nerfing was possibly due to Mystra being pissed off at him rather than a side-effect of the orb. At least, that's what I infer from this spoiler tagged conversation. (I happened to have this screenshotted from a previous discussion that touched on this this topic.)

This conversation for my character was before Gale had told her about the orb, he had only said he needed magic items for a "condition". So there does still seem to be a bit of room for debate about how far his power loss was due to loss of Mystra's favour and how much to his near-death from absorbing the Netherese magic, as he wasn't going to be able to be completely open about that in the conversation. Still, if we take what he says here at face value, his loss of power sounds like a punishment from Mystra for his foolish and dangerous actions to attempt to win back her favour.
