Doing the unthinkable at the Mana Forge - your ideal alternative resolutions to ToB

Among other things over at my topic on Clerics and Ascension, a little tangent started on alternative courses of action one could theoretically take at the Mana Forge. Sergio mentioned the possibility of giving the essence and portfolios to Cyric while I proffered my own unique take - to actually complete the process of uplifting Amelyssan to godhood, as shown in my own little fanfic, the Unthinkable. Not wanting to derail the other thread from its topic, but still wanting to discuss it, I decided to make this one to discuss this issue more in-depth.

So, do you have an alternative resolution to BG, and if so, what is it?
