Detailed discussion of this point is going to be hairy since there is no published source describing the Five Actions. As the Abiding Book puts it "I believe in One God, Invisible, Creator of the Universe". The Five Actions are the way in which the Invisible God/Creator makes the world.

They really don't mesh since the Creator is aloof from the Cosmos whereas Atrilith was capable of manifestation within it. The Invisible God can manifest in the Cosmos but it is not the Creator when it does so.
Secondly you fall afoul of the fact that the Prime Mover is not universally accepted. Only the Loskalmi make a distinction between the Unknowable God and the Creator. Other churches would call this heresy.

It's not from the Western Perspective, it's a cosmological secret uncovered by the God Learners. The Westerners deny the equality of Pamalt, Genert and Vith in their myths. The four magicians embody equally valid perspectives of the Universe.

This is giving supremacy to the mystical perspective, an error.
