You don't so much cast a miracle as request one. You state what you would like to have happen and request that the True God intercede.
A miracle can do any of the following things.

• Duplicate any divine spell of up to 2 Power points fewer than expended.
• Duplicate any innate spell of up to 4 Power points fewer than expended.
• Undo the harmful effects of many spells, such as permanent confuse.
• Remove injuries and afflictions. A single miracle can aid one creature for each Power point expended, and all subjects are cured of the same kind of affliction. For example, you could heal all the damage you and your companions have taken, or remove all poison effects from everyone in the party, but not do both with the same miracle. A miracle can never restore the experience point loss from casting a spell.
• Produce any other effect whose power level is in line with the above effects.

If the miracle has any of the above effects, casting it has no experience point cost.
Alternatively, you can make a very powerful request. Asking for such a miracle costs 100 XP per Power point expended because of the powerful divine energies involved. Examples of especially powerful miracles of this sort include the following.

• Swinging the tide of a battle in your favor by bringing allies across great distances to continue fighting.
• Protecting a city from an earthquake, volcanic eruption, flood, or other major natural disaster.

In any event, a request that is out of line with the requirements of the True Faith will not receive a miracle.
A duplicated spell allows saving throws and spell resistance. When a miracle duplicates a spell that has an XP cost, you must pay that XP cost or the XP cost for the miracle, whichever is more.
Restriction: as a divine spell, only divine spellcasters can learn and cast this spell.
