Miracle Manipulation

Background

Miracle Manipulation is the supernatural or metaphysical ability to invoke, create, control, or perform miracles—events that defy natural laws and logic, typically attributed to divine will, higher powers, or metaphysical forces. These acts often operate outside the scope of science or causality, producing effects that should be impossible under conventional physical or magical systems.

Users of Miracle Manipulation are capable of triggering phenomena that are not constrained by consistency, necessity, or probability. A miracle may heal the gravely wounded, resurrect the dead, suspend time, alter fate, or even rewrite reality entirely, often without any clear energy cost or systemic limitation. Unlike reality warping, which manipulates the fabric of existence directly, miracles are often depicted as occurring *through* divine permission, supernatural alignment, or unexplained favor.

Depending on the context, Miracle Manipulation may function as a faith-based power, require divine sanction, or be an intrinsic trait of a divine or semi-divine entity.

• Environmental Miraculous Control: Control over large-scale events such as plagues ending, floods parting, or celestial alignment changes.

Possible Limitations

• Faith Dependency: May require the user or others to possess genuine belief or devotion.
• Divine Will Requirement: The user may not have full control, needing approval or synchronization with a higher force.
• Inconsistency of Outcome: Miracles may not behave predictably or may only happen in dire need.
• Contextual Restrictions: Only possible in specific places, times, or under certain metaphysical alignments.
• Narrative Boundaries: Miracles might be limited to narrative significance and not usable arbitrarily.
• Backlash or Consequences: Causing miracles may draw attention, trigger cosmic rebalancing, or invoke divine enemies.
• Moral Restrictions: Cannot be used for evil, selfish, or corrupt purposes, depending on the nature of the miracle source.
• One-Time Use or Rarity: Some miracles can only occur once or very rarely, preventing overuse.
• No Mechanism Explanation: Miracles defy system logic, which may limit integration with other powers or structures.
