A wizard cannot become a theistic hero.

No, it's not. Henotheism has two meanings, neither which describe what is happening here (the general sense is mixing worship of Malkion with the Pagan Gods, while the Glorantha sense is the Henotheist Church). Henotheists may sacrifice to gods for affinities but that is an act of theism indistinguishable from what the Orlanthi or the Pelorians do.

But misapplied worship implies a whole lot of things, none of which are appropriate for Arkat (like the fact that there are no secrets if his worship is misapplied). If you want to make Arkat's path difficult, then it's wiser to make up new mechanisms instead.

Just a nitpick: Illuminated Arkat is a slander. Arkat does teach some form of mystical awareness but it is not the same as Nysaloran Illumination (or perhaps the complete opposite).

IMO they would destroy anything not in their own social group. Which usually means they prefer everything beyond the borders of their city state to be a blackened ruin.
