      If Illumination is, as suggested in the old _Cults of Terror_, the realisation of certain hidden truths about the universe then everyone in Glorantha should be able to be illuminated. I tend to think that dragons and dragonkind have access to such truths from a different angle, so illumination for them is redundent or pointless.

      If, however, Illumination is some other thing...well, what is it? :) In any case, it should be more than a power-gamer goodie.
