Miracle allows a [[Cleric]] to BESEECH his or her patron deity for a miraculous raising of oneself, costing 50 [[mana]]. Using Miracle, a Cleric is able to call forth the spiritual servants of his or her patron deity to provide a temporary [[Minor Sanctuary (213)|Minor Sanctuary]] in the room. When doing so, the same rules for creating a Minor Sanctuary apply, except that the failure rate is greatly reduced by the help of the deity's spiritual servants. Training in [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]] also helps to reduce the failure rate. |

'''Miracle''' allows a [[cleric]] to {{boldmono|[[BESEECH]]}} their patron deity for a miraculous raising of themself, including a powerful chrism effect to the cleric, costing 50 [[mana]], and also creating a temporary [[Minor Sanctuary]] in the room. Once the creation of the Minor Sanctuary is successful, the cleric is immediately brought back to life with full [[health]] and [[spirit]], yet all wounds remain. Another optional use of this spell is {{boldmono|BESEECH TELEPORT}}. This will teleport the cleric's body and then raise them at the realm's location where corpses end up after decaying. |
|||
* Training in [[#Spiritual Lore, Summoning|Spiritual Lore, Summoning]] helps to reduce the Minor Sanctuary failure rate. The same rules for creating a Minor Sanctuary apply as when casting that spell, except that Miracle provides a significant bonus to success |
|||
Once the creation of the Minor Sanctuary is successful, the Cleric is immediately brought back to life with full [[Health]] and [[Spirit|Spirit Points]]; yet all wounds remain. |
|||
* {{boldmono|BESEECH TELEPORT}} does not require the room to be a Minor Sanctuary to use (i.e. no failure due to the cleric vs. creature level check of Minor Sanctuary) |
|||
* Training in [[#Spiritual Lore, Blessings|Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] provides a chance for a free {{boldmono|[[MANA SPELLUP]]}} after the cleric is resurrected |
|||
* This spell may only be used once per day, but training in [[#Spiritual Lore, Religion|Spiritual Lore, Religion]] will allow the cleric to use it more frequently. Uses reset at midnight game time (ET) |
|||
* The spell does not require 50 mana in the cleric's pool to attempt activation, but will still drain that amount upon being used (potentially resulting in severe nerve damage to the corpse). High-ranking members of the [[Order of Voln]] will find the [[Symbol of Mana]] useful, as it restores 50 mana and can be used when dead |
|||
* Using the {{boldmono|BESEECH}} command at any other time will not cost the cleric 50 MPs. |

Training in [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] also provides a chance that a Chrism-like effect ([[Holy_Receptacle_%28325%29#Tier_4:_Chrism|Tier 4]] of the [[Holy Receptacle (325)|Holy Receptacle]] spell) is placed on the Cleric prior to the resurrection. Starting at 2 ranks the chance is 5%, with a max affect of 90% at 189 ranks. |

===Spiritual Lore, Summoning=== |
|||
Training in [[Spiritual Lore, Summoning]] helps to reduce the failure rate of the minor sanctuary attempt. |
|||
===Spiritual Lore, Blessings=== |
|||
Only once every 24 hours is a Cleric able to muster enough spiritual strength to successfully use Miracle. Although, with dedicated training in [[Spiritual Lore, Religion]] a Cleric is able to use Miracle more frequently. At 4 ranks, the normal 24 hours is reduced by 1 hour, up at a maximum reduction of 16 hours at 184 ranks; effectively meaning at max ranks a Cleric is able to use Miracle once every 8 hours. |
|||
Training in [[Spiritual Lore, Blessings]] provides a chance of {{mono|5% per seed 2 [[summation]] of ranks}} that a free {{boldmono|[[MANA SPELLUP]]}} effect is placed on the cleric after resurrection. |

:<i>Silence descends upon the room and a double-headed serpent slithers to you. Each of its heads moves of its own accord, and slit-pupiled eyes take in everything as they wind a sinuous path up your prone form. As it reaches your chest, it lifts its heads up high and begins to sway from side to side in a hypnotic pattern. "You have learned the ssssacrifice issss everything, now we ssssacrifice oursssselves sssso that you may teach otherssss," the one head says before striking the other head at the neck. In one swift, painless bite, the head is severed and the open neck falls upon you, its lifeblood draining into your mouth. Moments pass as the ferric taste of the serpent's sacrifice fills you, and then suddenly it disappears.</i> |

Clouds move into the area, their murky depths heavy with rain unshed and you can see lightning dancing within them. The pressure builds all around you until suddenly, the heavens release dozens of slender blue bands of lightning. The lightning fills your body with its energy and the very air around you seems to tingle with it. Moments later, the lightning is gone and the clouds soon follow.</i> |

A tug on your spirit heralds the arrival of impossibly long feathers in shades of white, grey, and black, as they appear before you and coalesce into a beautiful insubstantial being. It lifts you up into its arms and you feel as if you have found home in its embrace. |

Slowly, the sound of the horn echoes into silence.</i> |

:<i>Large and ethereal, rectangular talismans rise from the ground to form a ring around your lifeless form. Each talisman is carved with a different word and glows with a brilliant light.

The remaining two tumble into you simultaneously and, in a flash of white light, you absorb them all.</i> |

"There are more liessss to sssspread, and deathssss to ssssteal," it says, and then swiftly raises high into the air to gaze down at you. Faster than the blink of an eye, the serpent dives into your chest and disperses into a shimmering green mist that seeps into your skin.</i> |

Each sizzling bolt strikes your chest repeatedly for several moments and the horde closes in on you until every last one of them is absorbed by your spirit.</i> |

:<b>Third Person:</b> <i>Dark clouds swirl before the prone form of Cleric and the area is plunged into darkness. The thick scent of ozone rises on the air and causes hair to stand on end as a deep pressure builds. Blue lightning lances through the area, accompanied by a ear-shattering ripple of thunder, and in the shadows cast by its afterglow is the image of hundreds of demons lurching and struggling towards Cleric. Lightning strikes Cleric in the chest repeatedly, sizzling the air with every strike. As the lightning ceases, shadowy demons rise and dive deep into Cleric's chest.</i> |

Clutched in their teeth are midnight blue mussels, which they hold tightly in place as they comically bounce and leap around you. They playfully paw at your lifeless chest, begging with their furry faces, and you sense they want you to come and play. As if sensing you cannot, they curl their sleek, wet forms briefly around your head and nuzzle against your neck for several moments. Then, they carefully drop the mussels upon your chest. A brief, child-like joy fills you as the mussels sink into your lifeless body, and the otters turn as one to slide out of sight on their slippery bellies.</i> |

As the shadows writhe in a thick mass of darkness over your body, you distinctly hear a quiet whisper in your ear, "This was not the death I had in mind for you." A flash of light tears across your vision as it is consumed by the image of a cracked white skull.</i> |

;Phoen |

:<i>Regal and proud, a broad-shouldered ethereal lion strides towards your lifeless form and you are filled with a sense of power and glory. As it moves towards you, its mane begins to shimmer with licking flames that resemble the rays of the sun. It lowers its gaze to you and you feel yourself drawn into their amber depths. The golden beast lifts a paw to your chest and a wave of warmth floods your limbs. As the light grows, the lion begins to dissipate into a golden nimbus that sinks into your body.</i> |
|||
;Ronan |
|||
:<i>The sounds of night drift to your ears and you feel a deep lassitude flood your spirit. At the edge of your vision the pale white beautiful image of a unicorn begins to take shape. It paws at the air, its silver hooves creating sparks of light that twinkle like a thousand stars. As it lowers the horn to touch your forehead you feel a deep sense of peace that intensifies as a silver nimbus blankets you. The unicorn and the nimbus disappear at once, and you feel yourself waking slowly from a dream.</i> |

:<b>First Person:</b> <i>Shadows lengthen and grow around you until their edges are sharp and twisted. Macabre and ungraceful, they slink with jerky movements toward you as their depths are briefly illuminated by countless yellowed eyes set into the faces of a thousand horrors. They snarl as they writhe across your prone form, their maws snapping ineffectively at your flesh. One by one, they twist and squirm into your slack jaw and fill you with bitter madness.</i> |
|||
:<b>Third Person:</b> <i>Shadows lengthen and grow around the body of Zenogais until their edges are sharp and twisted. Moving in a macabre dance of jerky, ungraceful movements, the shadows become briefly illuminated by countless yellowed eyes set into the faces of a thousand horrors. Snarling, the shadows move across Zenogais's prone form and begin to snap ineffectively at his lifeless flesh. One by one, the twisted nightmares writhe and squirm into Zenogais's slack jaw and disappear within him.</i> |

Deep in your spirit, you feel a binding connection to their mirth. Converging above you, the light transforms in a slender crescent moon that begins to whirl. At one moment, full, and then the next, a sliver, the faster the moon spins, the louder the laughter gets. Suddenly, the light ceases all movement and explodes into a brilliant shower of silver sparks accompanied by laughter for several moments.</i> |

Miracle allows a cleric to BESEECH their patron deity for a miraculous raising of themself, including a powerful chrism effect to the cleric, costing 50 mana, and also creating a temporary Minor Sanctuary in the room. Once the creation of the Minor Sanctuary is successful, the cleric is immediately brought back to life with full health and spirit, yet all wounds remain. Another optional use of this spell is BESEECH TELEPORT. This will teleport the cleric's body and then raise them at the realm's location where corpses end up after decaying.
- Training in Spiritual Lore, Summoning helps to reduce the Minor Sanctuary failure rate. The same rules for creating a Minor Sanctuary apply as when casting that spell, except that Miracle provides a significant bonus to success
- BESEECH TELEPORT does not require the room to be a Minor Sanctuary to use (i.e. no failure due to the cleric vs. creature level check of Minor Sanctuary)
- Training in Spiritual Lore, Blessings provides a chance for a free MANA SPELLUP after the cleric is resurrected
- This spell may only be used once per day, but training in Spiritual Lore, Religion will allow the cleric to use it more frequently. Uses reset at midnight game time (ET)
- The spell does not require 50 mana in the cleric's pool to attempt activation, but will still drain that amount upon being used (potentially resulting in severe nerve damage to the corpse). High-ranking members of the Order of Voln will find the Symbol of Mana useful, as it restores 50 mana and can be used when dead
- Using the BESEECH command at any other time will not cost the cleric 50 MPs.
