Sure. If you have specific questions, fire away.
One way I look at Sanctity is that is it is a special form of aspected mana where instead of being aspect to an element, college, or path it is aspected to a certain deity.

Isis of Roma Arcana is like this - she gives her worshippers Magery rather then Power Investiture which given how Mana interacts with Sanctity in that setting puts her in a really weird place.

The key issue is what do these deities get from followers and if they get something how much do those followers effect the deities. Does their ability to mess around in the world involve belief? If so what level is enough to keep them going?

Do the deities make magical items as an examples of their power so to attract more followers?
