To use a metaphor to explain their importance, imagine a campfire. Lighting the fire, keeping the fire burning, and putting the fire out are all separate actions, requiring wholly different approaches, and require different forms of energy. Apply that philosophy to everything. Using these philosophies, you can easily explain some things (Undeath: Too much influence of the Sustainer drowning out the Destroyer's influence). Magic: one part Creator, one part Destroyer. Each deity has its own spouses, children, and avatars. Each of these can function as lesser powers/demi-gods over whatever you need. The rub is this: The worshipers of this pantheon are divided into sects. While each sect pays respect to all three, the sect places one of the gods above the others, as the most powerful "Chief" God. Some even claim that the other two are merely manifestations or avatars of their chief god! Some sects even worship one of their Chief God's avatar as the "True manifestation" of their Chief god. So even though you have a small relative pantheon, you have a lot of variation by mixing and matching.</blockquote>
