IIRC There's a reference to "Spolitism" as a sort of Darkness-based Illumination (in Fortunate Succession ?). Although that might be an error of the Gloranthan writer...
To be honest the name "Illumination" and any perception of light might be no more than consequences of Nysalor's otherwise-unrelated nature as a God of Light.
