this is the most correct statement.
Illumination, as itwas inthe old RQ rules (ie- "instant" acquisiton of mysterious cultic immunity through riddling) was a fragmentary view of it. It isn't about anything that you think or learn, it is an experience of the mystical moment. most people spend several lives preparing for it because it is such an event that an untrained mind can not cope with it. You get the powers without the ability to control them. The result is almost always that amoral exploitation that we saw minimaxers using in RQ. Illumination by way of riddles is a bad thing, even for mystics, unless they have mastered the entire program for it.
