I've never played as such that all Illuminates have all the powers. In fact, the only Illuminate PC I have in my game at the moment has only a single power, the first one, and he grumbles and groans about it all the time : ) I would rule that those Illuminates who do not adhere to their Vows are even more rare than those who don't adhere to their geases. And anyhow, just because you don't *have* to adhere to your geases doesn't mean you won't choose to to prove your devotion to the so-called Light Side of Illumination.
