Interesting.

I imagine that universities then have a somewhat uncomfortable place in Christendom, as students are clergy and thus permitted to study magic, but also...well, shockingly secular.

As for the Mongols, historically they were an extremely tolerant paganism before Islam got ahold of them. The Golden Horde might continue to be a mix of Tengriists and Buddhists who comfortably rule over the Russian princes? They still have functional magic and have not unleashed Hell, but they are still in terminal decline as their sub-khanates break off and the Russian princes start getting ideas.
