Description:
In a world of magic where gods are actually real half the time, even the mention of their name can bring about a great power. Miracles are said to be events that happen very rarely and usually aid an individual in one way or another, however, this magic allows anyone to bring forth power hidden within tales of gods and use it as their very own. The main concept of this magic lies in the user recalling and reciting a story of gods in their mind, power of that god then manifesting as light magic that is given shape by the user. This can bring anyone a great deal of power, but at the obvious cost of having to remember all the stories in the midst of a battle.
There is not much difference to how Leila uses this magic, even if it is usually cast with much more sinister reasoning behind it than would be expected from a light magic of gods. She remembers a lot of tales and epics about higher beings and uses the power they give her to tap into just about every place one could imagine. It allows for offense, defense and much more, all the same time without the requirement of user's specialization. After all, someone who is so limited by their own body as Leila requires this kind of power if she wants to pursue the career of a mage, dark or otherwise.
Strengths:
- Very versatile, capable of both offense and defense along with special effects
- Can produce just about any existing element
Weaknesses:
- As magic that requires the caster to recall a whole story about gods, the magic requires a great deal of concentration
- Every element produced by this magic can be eater by slayers unless the spell itself specifies otherwise
- Every element produced will be weaker against opposing element as long as the enemy specifies against what element they are stronger

Description: A legendary war hero was once severely wounded in battle, losing control of his arms and legs. His life was rough beyond belief, but his spirit remained high and strong. He awoke one day to discover he had a strange white aura around him; and that he could move his arms and legs again. He was so overcome with joy he flailed his arms about, causing parts of the aura to shoot off of him and actually cause damage to his room. He didn’t know how, but his spirit somehow manifested outside of his body, allowing him to use it for walking and combat. It wasn’t permanent, but he did learn to control this new ability and bring it out to his will. It’s said his descendants are the only ones known to be able to do such a thing.
Ability: The user forces out their spirit to emanate around them in a white (or black if you’re a dark mage) aura, allowing them to manipulate it in various ways.
Usage: Upon usage, the user loses the ability to cast any of their magic abilities. Instead, for once per thread and for 5 posts or until destroyed they can manipulate their spirit aura to fight their foes in a variety of ways like a puppet. The aura protects the user from all damage but will take it itself. The spirit is vulnerable and not affected by armor or defensive abilities, having the default HP of the user’s rank. If the spirit is destroyed, the user will take 50% of their current HP in damage. All damage it deals is the user’s rank in spell damage.
Servant of Miracles – Gods have many different worshipers and servants that protect them and serve them at any time they need. Recalling the tales of these gods, Leila has ability like that as well, being capable of summoning miracle servant of golden light that appears as set of big ghostly knight armor. This summon has no cooldown or duration, but it's life is tied to his master as they share both HP and MP. However, the servant takes 50% less damage from any and all attacks that hit it while Leila receives 50% more damage if she is attacked directly. The servant can form any weapon of golden light, though he usually defaults to a greatword, that will deal Leila's melee damage on contact.
Power of Mind - Miracle Works is magic that requires a great deal of concentration and memory dedicated to it. Many see this as a weakness, however, it also creates a strength of it's own. Because of all this, Leila is more trained in her mind than others and thus, all spells and abilities that are meant to affect one's mind (such as illusions, fear, etc.) are 50% less effective.
Miracle Barrier - The name would suggest that this is ability which would make Leila completely invincible, but that is not quite the case. The ability does generate a constant barrier around the girl's body, however, it only ensures that she cannot be affected by knockback effects of her own or lower rank, or other effects that would somehow control or impair her movements. After all, it would be quite bad if she got knocked out of her wheelchair and became stuck because of that.
Area of Denial - Leila's body is quite frail and cannot move very well. Because of that, she often becomes easy target for enemies that can just get to her body and start attacking without having to worry about the enemy dodging at all. Because of that, the girl formed a special aura around her body which somewhat repels the enemies. The size of the aura is 20 meters and increases by another 20 each rank, capping out at 100 meters once S-rank is achieved. What this aura does is slowly the enemy down by 25% for as long as they remain inside of it and by 50% if they are directly facing Leila and trying to move towards her. Not only enemies are affected by this, but spells as well.

- Signature spells:
Name: Crystal light
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: Instant
Description: An epic dedicated to the stories of a light god, a higher being who was capable of freely controlling light, giving it shape and purpose that would fulfill his will. With a mighty story like that, even Leila can gain ability like that. At any point, she can give form to light and form it however she likes with several limitations. The attacks will never exceed range of the spell's rank (25) and will travel at the maximal speed of the rank as well (12,5). On contact, the light will either physically hurt or burn the enemy, both resulting in the same damage that is normal for the spell's rank (40). If multiple enemies are hit in one post, the damage will always be equally divided between them.
Strengths:- Gives Leila a method of attack in any given situation or environment
Weaknesses:- Can only be used for defensive purposes
- Due to the spell’s nature, it is impossible to form anything that would last longer than the one singular post
Name: Light's journey
Rank: D
Type: Movement support
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: three times per post
Description: Gods don't always rule over their own domain. Some of them travel between different world in order to record their history and general structure, or perhaps to deliver messages between different deities. Leila knows such tale and upon recalling it, she becomes capable of dissolving her body in light particles and travelling in such fashion. Teleportation via this method is instant and can carry the girl regular distance of the spell's rank (15) instantly. Since this is the girl's only proper method of moving around the battlefield due to her wheelchair, she is also capable of using this ability up to three times per post.
Strengths:- Instant teleport that can be used to get Leila out of trouble when needed
- Can be used three different times during one single post
Weaknesses:- For Leila's only proper method of moving around the battlefield, the range of this spell is rather low
- Doesn't allow teleport behind walls or other objects if the terrain behind them as Leila needs to think of where she wishes to end up
- Cannot teleport other people, only the girl herself
- D-rank:
- Name: Prying eye
Rank: D
Type: Special effect
Duration: instant
Cooldown: 2 posts
Description: Tale of information gathered, the one who stood right to the executioner of gods. His story claims that he was capable of extracting secrets from all other beings by simply touching them. Recalling this tale, Leila gains that very ability, becoming capable of seeing memories of other living beings when she touches them. This can be used freely on NPCs, but requires OOC permission if used on another player character.
Strengths:- Gives Leila a lot of knowledge about the person she uses this ability on
Weaknesses:- Can only be used at one living being per use, not more
- Cannot be used on non-living targets, this includes sentient machines, undead and similar beings
- Use on player characters requires OOC permission first
Name: Seeking eye
Rank: D
Type: Special effect
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 5 posts
Description: All living creatures desire power in some form, even gods themselves. Because of that, their eyes are always in the direction of said power as they either envy it, or try to get it for themselves. Recalling tales about this fact, Leila can summon the eye of a power hungry god above her head and see where it gazes, as it will always look in the direction of the enemy who has at least some magical power. This can be used to see a general direction in which a hidden enemy might be, though it never gives any precise information. Hidden enemies will also be prioritized by the eye, as it seeks those who are actively using their power.
Strengths:- Can be used to gain knowledge of general whereabouts of a hidden enemy that might be nearby
Weaknesses:- Does not give any concrete information, not even how far the enemy is from the eye
- Can only gaze at one target per use, making it somewhat useless if multiple hidden enemies are present
- Spell has much longer cooldown that other instant-use spells of this rank
Name: Golden wings
Rank: D
Type: Movement support
Duration: 3 posts
Cooldown: 4 posts
Description: Angels are often associated with gods and presented as their guardians or servants. Because of that, many stories about the deities themselves also include this heavenly and pure beings. Recalling a tale of a magnificent angel whose wings were made out of gold, Leila can sprout exactly the same pair of wings that are made out golden crystallized light. These allow for flight at 125% of the girl's regular speed and they can block a single attack of the user's rank. However, once this is done, the wings will crack and become extremely fragile. At that point, attack of any rank can easily break them, cancelling the spell before it's full duration.
Strengths:- Gives Leila another fast method of transport that does not require the wheelchair
- Can block a single spell of Leila's rank
Weaknesses:- The wings are not strong enough for Leila to be capable of carrying another person while flying unless they're somehow lighter than herself
- Once the wings block an attack, they become extremely fragile and easy to destroy
- Leila has to get back to her wheelchair or at least close to it when the duration is about to expire unless she wants to get stuck in one place
Name: Forced desire
Rank: D
Type: Special effect
Duration: 3 posts
Cooldown: 4 posts
Description: Sin is breaking rules given by a god. They are something the heavenly being punished severely because those that live under them did not obey. However, there are cruel and mischievous deities that force mortals to sin by shifting around their emotions and feelings. Recalling a tale of such cruelty, Leila herself obtains the power to alter emotions and feelings of those that are closer than 25 meters around her for limited amount of time. This can be used freely on NPCs, but requires OOC permission if used on another player character. The duration can be also extended when outside of combat.
Strengths:- Can be used to force other living beings into situation where they feel something they don't want to feel
Weaknesses:- Can only be used in limited range and everything that leaves the effective area returns to normal immediately
- Cannot be used on non-living targets, this includes sentient machines, undead and similar beings
- Use on player characters requires OOC permission first
- C-rank:
- Name: Guardian's swap
Rank: C
Type: Movement support
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 3 posts
Description: The miracle guardian that serves Leila is quite essential for her, as he is the extension of her being that can move around freely and actually attack enemies from close range. And even though the two of them share the same health pool, the servant can take much more punishment thanks to his resistance. Because of that, he gained the ability to swap place with his master in order to take attack instead of her. This can be done as long as the servant is less than 30 meters away from the girl.
Strengths:- Allows the servant to take a hit instead of Leila, lowering the damage with his resistance
Weaknesses:- The teleportation has limited range of 30 meters and cannot be done if the servant is further away than that
- Not very beneficial if both Leila and the servant are in bad situation at the same time
Name: lesser light barrier
Rank: C
Type: Defense, light element
Duration: 2 posts
Cooldown: 4 posts
Description: A kind god that only wished to protect others. Leila knows his tale very well and every time she recalls it, she gain the ability to summon a bubble barrier around her body that can shield everything and everyone inside. This barrier is capable of deflecting three incoming attacks of this spell’s rank, six incoming spells one or more ranks below this spell’s, or one incoming spell one rank above this spell’s. It's size is 20 meters in diameter and every ally inside is protected.
Strengths:- Strong defensive spell that can even deflect limited number of spells above it’s own rank
- Can shield multiple allies if they’re close enough
Weaknesses:- The barrier will always have Leila as it’s center, moving when she does. This means all allies that want protection need to remain by her no matter what
- Due to the power required to keep this barrier up, the spell can’t be maintained as long as it other spells if this rank could be
- Limited space in the barrier means that larger crowds simply cannot fit inside
Name: Lesser lightning spear
Rank: C
Type: Offense, lightning element
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 3 posts
Description: The story of god that could control lightning and form it into throwable spears is a famous one. When Leila recalls it, she or her servant can form a small lightning spear in their hands and throw it at the enemy. If it makes contact, regular C-ranked damage will be inflicted (40). The spear itself travels at regular speed for it's rank (12,5) and will disappear dissipate the moment it exceeds it's range (25).
Strengths:- Simply, yet effective attack that deals C-ranked damage
- Both Leila and her servant can use this spell
Weaknesses:- The spear is quite thin, making it pretty much impossible to hit multiple enemies at once
- Once thrown, the spear will go in one direction only until it's stopped one way or another
- Somewhat limited in range for a ranged spell
- Allows the servant to take a hit instead of Leila, lowering the damage with his resistance
