I believe she no longer wants to learn, can't remember where about it is stated, in WLW somewhere i suspect.
I am in the midst of re-reading WLW and in Chapter 6 she indicates not wanting to learn sorcery in the context of trying to figure out who is the father of her baby. (p.183, first edition overlook press).

"Right, its Simas. Who else would know the locations of all Mandate spies."

The other person would the Shriah who was busy uncovering the emperor's spies at least in Summa.  Also the "tell" of Simas as the skin spy is his reading in the dim light.  A similar "tell" comes up when the emperor's nephew walks up the stairs with Skeos (sp?).

Well I stand corrected on the Cish salting.  Thanks. 
Regarding the Chorae, I don't think we have an adequate explanation why it would work on both Cish and Sorcerers.  The chorae may be anti-magic, but as a tear of god they appear to be mostly anti-sorcerer (who are damned).  If Cish are clerical and act (I don't remember the precise wording) with the god then they should not be affected at all by chorae.  Let me know if this has been covered elsewhere int he forum.

Old Moe salted and he was certainly Cishaurim.

Regarding this from Wilshire:

"I agree with those that say the Cish may not be Few, as it fits into my thought that the Cish practice thaumaturgy rather than sorcery like the rest of the 3seas."

But they "salt" like the Few.  Maybe we need more discussion about what "salting" is all about, if the Cish are not the Few?

I don't think this is possible.  One of the reasons that Moe ended up in Shimeh is that the scars he placed on his arms to get through Jiunati Steppe made it impossible for me to be in the Nansur Empire for any length of time.

For what it is worth, they all "saw" hell in Cil-Aujas and Kosoter, to the extent that his reaction is noted, didn't behave like someone who had been there before.  Also, he is clearly serving the interest of Kellhus, and it seems willingly.  This does not match with the behavior of the other Ciphrang described in the series.  But who knows, maybe Kellhus 'Jedi mind tricked him" when he visited the Outside!!!!????

If someone is possessed I would guess it is Kelmomas.  He has an interior voice that guides him.  He is focused on his desire for his mother's affection on one hand and the utter destruction of everybody and everything else on the other.  Sounds like demon like behavior to me.  Inrilatas notes that Kelmomas is singularly responsible for the meeting with Maithanet, the overall isolation of Esmi (driving Mimara away, killing Sami, creating the conditions for Inrilatas to be killed), the Yatwer civil war (through killing Sharacinth), and as Inrilatas notes, "He [Kelmomas] is not what he seems, Uncle."

I think it might help to get back to the main point which is are Seswatha's dreams more or less true and/or can Khellus manipulate them.  We do know that someone has changed them from Akka's report and, as pointed out in the Judging Eye, it occurred around 4132.  Given the unending quality of Seswatha's dreams, it may well be Khellus who is manipulating Akka through his dreams as the tenor and content have radically changed only recently.

For what it is worth, I don't think Cel escaped the Fields of Eleneot.  The prologue labels the high king as Ganrelka; there is a reference to him being rescued "after the catastrophe on the Fields of Eleneot."  Also, Ganrelka died from the plague, his uncle hung himself (prologue page 2).

I am in the midst of rereading the Thousandfold Thought and came across this other mention of Proyas mother.
It is Chapter 4 (kind of a weird chapter since it includes the emperor being killed by his mother, the orphan Hertata being taken by slavers in Summa [what the hell was that about]).  DA is reflecting on how things have changed since Kellhus has taken over the Holy War and remarks
"On one occasion, after Esmenet's palfrey was lamed while descending a precarious switchback trail in the Enathpanean hills, Achamian watched as some dozen knights offered to give her their chargers - something tantamount to giving her their honour, since their mounts were their means of waging war.  Achamian had witnessed much the same while accompanying Proyas and his mother to her dowager estates in Anplei."
