There was handy transcendental support from Greg this weekend :-)

Here I disagree. Immanence is, I think, an entirely different kettle of fish. Illuminates MUST realise, I think, the immanence of magic. Gloranthan deities themselves are not usually immanent, however.
Unless, of course, the magical and the divine are one and the same thing. This suggestion represents heresy in RW christian theology BTW ...
