Editing Miracles

'''Miracles''' are a function of the [[System]] that governs [[Innworld]]. They are considered by some to be a form of [[magic]] and act similar to [[spells]] but are fueled by faith instead of [[mana]]. They generally can do a great deal more than spells, but are consisdered less consistent due to a miracle's power being based on the user's faith.

==Overview==
Miracles are an older, nearly extinct form of magic. It is questioned, however, if it is really a form of magic. It is basically a form of prayer brought into existence. Such as wishing for a friend to be healed. A miracle would close his wounds and restore his essence through such faith. Once upon a time, miracles matched magic in its capacity to warp the world. It was said a [Cleric] in their earliest levels could do what an [Archmage] could not.

Miracles relied in the faith and belief in gods. As the gods have long since ceased to exist, at least in the eyes of the public, so have miracles likewise ended.

"By faith and faith alone do they warp the bounds of reality. Their desire and belief creates Gods and bridges the gap between impossibility and truth. Though blade and spell may take their lives, their inviolate will shall move this world.”

As a result, people have stopped receiving the [Cleric] class, which was replaced by [Healer] (see: [[Healing]]). The replacement lacks considerably in power, though. [Healers] are simply general practitioners of restorative arts, some of whom are able to cast spells. Many rely on potions or even simple bandages rather than miracles. The definition of the class has changed, and accordingly, so have the skills and spells learnt.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/01/04/1-34/ Chapter 1.34]</ref>

Faith can be gathered and stored if there is a vessel to anchor it. Unlike spells, Miracles have little variance or adaptibility. They cannot be altered to have a different effect. However, the power of faith is more easily pooled together and combined from multiple practitioners than magical power. While linking spells needs to be taught at institutions like [[Wistram]], a hundred level 10 [Faithfuls] can call upon a Miracle equivalent to a Tier 5 spell together with enough faith.<ref>{{VERef|10.58 FP}}</ref>

===Modern Miracles===

Due to the widespread belief in [[Innworld]] that the Gods are dead, Miracles were thought to be an extinct function of the system until [[Pawn]] gained the power of one through his faith in the [[Antinium]] Heaven. They started spreading more as the [[People of God]] gained members and notoriety, and the [[Dead Gods]] empowered their followers like [[Eldavin]]. The spreading knowledge of the gods eventually prompted the [[Grand Design of Isthekenous|Grand Design]] to explain <Faith> classes to [[Sorgen Nilhor]] with the intention of spreading this power.<ref>{{VERef|10.37 GDI (Pt. 3)}}</ref>
