Having had a quick look, there is one thing: an Illuminate can use
magic from any Otherworld without penalty, and can resist any magical
effect that targets people based on their magic system. I assume that
means she could use her Illumination ability to resist any penalties
for hostile Otherworlds while questing, or even ignore them
completely. That would make a major difference if she's powerful
enough to go on world-changing Godplane quests, like the Red Goddess
and the Seven Mothers themselves did. 

For lesser heroes, it might still help if your quest takes you to a
part of the hero plane that's dominated by hostile foreign magics
(animist/sorcerous/theist).
