Thanks. That brings me much better understanding. This corrupted illumination explains why many people are suspicious of illumination since outside of the Lunar empire I suspect that most peoples experience, if they have any, is of corrupted riddlers.
It also explains why Riddling is one of the listed challenges against the All in ILH2 p38. You are faced with a corruption of illumination it is going to cause some problems :-))
