I disagree with that. When Able transforms Dsiri, he does it in the 
presence of a Valfather whom the magic helmet reveals to be "bright 
shadow". I'm sure that the one true God is present behind the 
Valfather aspect, and Able here is acting as the agent of divine 
grace. 

Anyway, I think it'd be pretty amazing for Wolfe to construct a 
cosmos with absolutely no provision for divine grace, especially 
one which appears to share the same Heaven with ours.
