That's interesting. Is the commentary saying that the result of the  sutra can only be seen in this apparently manifested, though not real,  world, and so the result by definition is a product of  ignorance? ...which of course is true, but not very practical.  Or is it more a commentary about getting 'lost in the Siddhi', which I  have heard before, as an warning? What the vimarshini says is that practice of siddhis attenuates the innermost self by causing us to be deluded by our own Maya-shakti. It draws Self into a veil of Maya. It goes on to describe how to melt this "veil of ignorance" correctly.
