There two distinct styles of magic in Forgotten Gods: Miracles and Ritual magic.
Making Miracles
Miracles are the direct expression of a god’s will in the mortal world, channeled through one of it's Touched — a mortal bearing the Mark of the Divine. One so Touched need not be a willing participant; the Mark makes them a conduit whether they embrace it, resist it, or ignore it.
Miracles occur when the prophet performs a transformative act of will that resonates with their god’s nature. Whatever the prophet touches — physically, emotionally, or symbolically — is also touched by the god, becoming a conduit for divine influence. Effects could potentially go beyond human ability or probability, often accomplishing in moments what would take a mortal ritual hours, days, or years. Miracles are not limited by mortal tradition; they bend or break natural law as easily as they ignore human expectation.
