The Unholy Consult / Re: [TUC Spoilers] The Loose Ends

I'll try and clarify my position for you Yellow.
Well, sorcery alters Creation, yes? The God is responsible for reality, sorcery changes that reality according to the desire of the sorcerer, whether it's the Psukhe or not. There's plenty of ways to get damned without causing the Mark, why should the Psukhe be exempt?
Chorae destroy the Mark, and yet the Aporetics who made them defected to the Consult.
Aside from Kellhus' cryptic reference to the Psukhe using different leverage to produce sorcerous effects, I see no real reason to axiomatically conclude Cish aren't damned simply because they don't produce a Mark. And given that sorcery of all stripes is primarily used to murder and destroy at the whim of the user, I can't get behind the idea.
Chorae are used to banish Ciphrang in Shimeh, but that could be because the demon's avatars might be a product of Daimotic magic. On the other hand, I think Yatwer seemed pretty comfortable with Chorae even seemingly manifesting one from nowhere when the first WLW tries to kill Kellhus, but Mimara's tricks with them might be another matter.
