I don't know anymore.
I wanted to tell the story of a priest that converts the entire planet to her religion in a fantasy world. So I've been reading Orthodox, Catholic and Greek religious texts for months now and the more I research the more I lower the "magic level" of the setting to the point where it's basically alternate eastern Europe.

I'm even doubting if the main character should be able to really do miracles at all, or just make events seem miraculous for one reason or another and tell the story from the POV of the people that converted instead.
