Create a seed on non-euclidean bismuth with the properties that it will grow into a mighty crystal tree of starry void, it's bark leaking the worlds anima vitae, Its branches sprouting fruits of living flesh. This flesh will merge with anything living, its own type within moments and other living beings in days, Slowly until it is indistinguishable from each other.(psychological fear FTW.)
The flesh will be minorly sentient, Able to sense our wants and act accordingly.
Plant one such seed within our cave and allow its flesh to grow into our base, Let it crawl over the cave walls, Merge with our cathedral and grow outwards.
Get another seed (whether by throwing or manifesting it directly) into the village's well, Then accelerate its growth to the amount it would require to grow out of the well and for its flesh to cover the whole village, Then have it Consume the whole village in one gluttonous move. Like an inverted maw from the void. When there is nothing left retreat everything except a tiny sapling below the ground and have our central tree(in our cave) branch out, Connecting the two then move all the flesh to our cave.
All beings who die on this fleshy field will be incorporated into it almost immediately, Then hidden under a thin layer of our "false" flesh when inactive/dormant. Ripping itself out of the fleshy grounds beneath our enemy's feet and grabbing hold of them. Pinning them to the flesh for days until they merge with it, Unable to ever escape or die from starvation.
Also, Merge our physical being to the flesh structure we call a "cathedral" such that we can sense anything within it.
Do this whether they join us or not, But only do it with the villagers inside the village if they don't join us.

The Flesh Tree would cost 30-80 Essence to pull of and because of the complexity there's a 1/3 chance that you'll fail and waste the Essence, You sure?
I'd rather avoid dealing with the church any more than we have to. And I don't know about others, but I want to eventually work our way into a place that'll develop Courtship rather than Theology. So my counter suggestion would be...
Seek out Sandra again and tell her about your hardship as well as your desire to consolidate your focus in an area where you are weakest and might open doors of opportunity if it were available: Reading/Writing. She mentioned reading religious books before, and while we do not know if she is a capable teacher, ask if you can become her pupil. Offer to pay her a fair tutor's wage, as her wealth situation suggested it could probably use with a little filling.
Goal here is to build our relationship with her, and the access to magic that gives us (such as possibly Vevane or another wizard) in the future, and of course fulfill our goal of reading/writing to the eventual end of being able to either manage contracts of employment without being swindled or send letters to potential employers instead of wasting time trying to talk our way through each person's guards.
