Re: (TFT) House Rules?

But they are written with the 'feel' of Medieval Christianity and praying for
miracles whose effects are minor and typically invisible rather than the idea
of a high fantasy world (or even a mythological one, say like Glorantha)
wherein the gods grant powers to their followers.

As to making miracles a rule, its pretty simple, you base them off spells, but
you tailor the list to the gods in question.  A Fire/Sun god should provide
different abilities from a Storm or Healing God.  You just need to create a
spell/miracle list to fit the god and decide how to handle the talent that
gives access to such abilities.

I disagree. The Talents, as written, are pretty vague.
And I don't think that there's any good way to make miracles a rule.
