One point here about dominions. Miracradsa doesn't have a monopoly
on the "magic" dominion, and she knows this. Neither does Lucia have
a monopoly on "justice", or whatever. They can be upset, of course,
but it's a fact of life that people don't need Miracradsa to practice
magic (or Lucia to practice justice), and thus they turn to other
gods also for advice and support. They way I see it, Miracradsa
cares for all practitioners of (certain types of) magic, but is
really only worshipped by Mir (and those influenced by Mir).

This is not generally true: more isn't always the same as good, even
if you really like about the thing you get "more" of.

This is the way I see this. This licensing has nothing to do with
gods. The people who have bought the license have been practicing
magic anyway. Previously, they just didn't have a sheet of paper
saying they did it, and they had the good morale about it.
If I may decide it, Miracradsa regards the license stuff as political
or commercial stuff, a non-issue for her. But official Mir reaction
is naturally fundamentally political/commercial in nature. A natural
response from them is to put heavy pressure on Exquaestio to withdraw
their licensing scheme, because it is a competitor to Mir's own
"product".
