Miracles is a term used to classify magic granted by Gods. Unlike spells, which can be simply learned from training, the user is required to have pledged themselves to a god or deity.

Description[]

Miracles are magic bestowed by deities and gods alike. Although primarily displayed in the use of healing, miracles can be used for a variety of other purposes, including offensive and defensive aspects. An exception to both support and combative usages of miracles is found with Sword Maiden, in which she is able to verify an item's true nature. Anybody, including goblins can use miracles, provided that they have devoted themselves to a god. However, using a miracle for purposes outside of a deity's nature can cause the deity to rescind the powers granted to their follower.

Usage[]

The user is required to deliver a prayer or recite a complete incantation to their god before they can use a miracle. The incantation varies depending on the miracle desired and the corresponding deity. The amount of times one can use miracles per day is based on ability and experience.
