Miracle
Spell, Divine Magic, level 7
The deity's full power: raise the dead regardless of time or condition, restore lost limbs or drained life, create an impervious barrier, halt a natural disaster, or strip all magic from an object or area.
From the book
Draws on the caster's deity for one of five great works. The first brings one creature or being back to life no matter how long it has been dead or what state the body is in, even bare bones. It returns as healthy as it was before death, though dazed and confused for 10-60 minutes; it must make a special save vs Constitution, at +1 per level of the caster, to come back.
The second restores full health to a creature that has lost a limb, an eye or its mind, and can also heal victims of attacks that drain life or energy. The third raises a wall, cube or sphere of spiritual force, at most 10x10x10 ft., that no attack of any kind can break. It may be used only for protection, needs the caster's full concentration and lasts at most 10 minutes.
The fourth prevents or stops a natural disaster, for example a flood, avalanche, storm, plague or volcanic eruption, or instantly dispels magic that imitates such forces; the caster can hold the disaster back for one hour for each level they have reached. The fifth strips all magic from one object or area of up to 10x10x10 ft. for 24 hours.

A scene
The mountain above the villages of Okalo has begun to rumble, smoke pouring from its crown, and ash is already falling like gray snow. The high priest of the valley, a very old man with long years of service behind him, climbs to the shrine on the lower slopes and prays with everything he has. The rumbling stops. The smoke hangs still in the sky. The mountain seems to hold its breath. His prayer will hold the mountain for some hours, and no longer, and the villagers are already running.
