I'd be careful about too narrowly defining Thed's powers. She is one of Unholy Trio and they managed to make a fundamental change in the nature of Glorantha. Prior to their activities, Chaos was considered neutral or even holy. Afterwards, Chaos is Evil.
I am sure that they did not achieve this alone. Like the major changes since Time started, other beings "simultaneously" performed their own rituals that led to a result bigger than was expected.
