Description[]
Miracles are divine powers that are fueled by worshippers and sacrifices (for gods, which rely on prayer power) or energy (for creatures, which become hungry and tired from casting them). They can also be found all over Eden in form of one-shot miracles. Miracles can be cast by gods and creatures alike.

List of Miracles in Black & White 2[]
Black & White 2 Base Miracles[]
- Water miracle: Creates water to put out fires (and Volcanic lava), water crops and trees, and to make ground more clumsy to pass, for enemy soldiers.
- Heal miracle: Heal (or cure of diseases, in specific instances) injured villagers, soldiers and Creatures.
- Shield miracle: Knock down/around enemy soldiers and Creatures (or, create a shield through which projectiles and [Epic] miracles can't pass through, as easily, to cause damage)
- Lightning miracle: Shock all nearby villagers and soldiers, creating cascades of chain-lightning, and set buildings and trees on fire.
- Fire miracle: Create a fireball (or stream of fire, the former of) which explodes on contact, dealing damage and setting everything near on fire.
- Meteor miracle: Summons a rain of meteors and destroys everything in the area, potentially setting nearby objects on fire, slightly scarring the land afterwards.
- Note that, in some capacity, each and every Miracle listed (above, and below), can affect both friendly units, and enemy units.
Battle of the Gods Miracles[]
- Verdant miracle: Turns enemy troops or villagers caught in this miracle's radius, into animals (good for the Abattoir).
- Lava miracle: Creates a patch (or, when poured, pool) of lava upon impact, which will burn anything it comes into contact with, creating unsteady and deadly terrain.
- Life miracle: Will resurrect any recently deceased villagers or platoonsmen, return the undead to their grave, and, if you target a Storehouse containing some Ore and/or Food, it will fill the Storehouse with more of those resources.
- Death miracle: Will create a platoon of undead soldiers, where targeted, for 60 seconds. It will also add any villagers caught in it's radius to the platoon, and add them to your armies of the damned.
Epic Miracles[]
Epic Miracles are a unique class of Miracles that require a lot of time and prayer power to charge up. They can be used anywhere that isn't in the influence of your opponent.
- Siren Miracle: This miracle summons a Siren, who spreads love and compassion in your name, converting any enemy mortals caught in it's radius, to your side. Upon converting, they will wander around to "hug trees", before finally travelling to your city of origin, to live out their days as one of your villagers. It's great for destroying the population and/or armies of your opponents (making them even easier to capture), though it comes at the cost of a sudden population boom, meaning a demand for housing and food, amongst other things.
- Hurricane Miracle: This miracle summons a Hurricane, that proceeds to wreak unprejudiced havoc, on the area it is summoned. See its page for more details.
- Earthquake Miracle: This miracle summons a Earthquake, that will destroy the earth around it's area, and leave scars that will remain for some time, which any and all villagers and troops will most likely walk straight into. Good for blocking the advance of the enemy. See its page for more details.
- Volcano Miracle: This miracle summons a Volcano on the point of origin. At first, the volcano will sprout out of the ground, completely erasing any building in the way, before erupting into fire and flame, with a stream of magma coming down to burn the surrounding area down to the ground, launching fireballs from its crown. This is the only Epic that can be directly fought against, by using Water Miracles to stop the advance of the lava. See its page for more details.
- Be aware that on some lands your enemies will also have an epic miracle at their disposal, and that they will use them occasionally, unless the epic's related Wonder building is destroyed.
- One more thing to note, is that the destructive epics have a tendency of destroying resources, like Ore mines and forests, so use them with extreme caution (or none at all).
