Then why would Vivec discribe it as reaching heaven with violence, since you didn't become a god through CHIM?

Wouldn't that just make you a mere mortal with invincibility, eternal youth, immunity to death and possessed of infinite power?

Also, what can't CHIM give you? In fact, what can't sufficiently powerful alteration give you?

I asked that bit about sufficiently powerful alteration because alteration is described as pushing and diverting the world to your whim, except that the world returns to normal after awhile. So, with sufficiently powerful alteration, you would be able, in theory, to permanently bend the world to your will through "violence" and will, much like CHIM, but not equivalent, as in a spring, pull it hard enough at it cannot regain its former state, or even worse, it breaks.
