Miracles are your life force in Black & White. You use miracles to supply your village with wood and food resources as well as increase their happiness and belief through healing, a glorious fireball, or a wondrous winged creatures appearance. You'll also employ miracles to convert other villages. Nothing says "wow" like a fireball extreme flying over at night!

Look for one-shot miracles under firefly hiding spots.

This section covers Black & White's miracles and required prayer power and provides tips for use. Remember, though, that all miracles aren't available in each level. Also, the tips below apply to any one-shot miracles you discover.

Food (7,000)

Cast the food miracle repeatedly to stock your village store with delicious grain. Click the action button repeatedly to increase the amount of food with each cast. Holding down the action button nets just a fraction of what repeated clicking will reward you with. Food is also an excellent miracle to use when converting another village. Spot a shortage in the village store and cast food for lots of belief. Better yet, steal the villagers' food and get them hungry--then cast food when they really need it! The Norse wonder improves the food miracle; the Japanese wonder decreases the appetite of your followers, which means you won't need the food miracle as frequently.

Wood (7,000)

Wood mirrors food--use it as much as possible. You'll consume enormous amounts of wood, especially if you're expanding your influence with houses, civic buildings, and wonders. As you would with the food spell, click the action button repeatedly to increase the amount of wood with each cast. Holding down the action button nets just a fraction of what repeated clicking will reward you with. Use wood to keep your village happy; nothing says "I believe in you" like a hearty supply of new wood. Don't hesitate to put upward of 200,000 in your village store--it's that important! It also works well in enemy village conversion. If the village is low on wood, drop in a miracle for instant belief. Steal the villagers' wood first and force the shortage. The Celtic and Norse wonder increase the potency of wood miracles.

Heal (6,000)

Your villagers always appreciate healing. Seek out sick villagers (look for coughing) for extra belief. Heal your villagers every so often to increase belief, which in turn increases influence. Teach your creature the heal miracle early so that it'll perform the same function inside your village or when trying to convert another village. Speaking of conversion, heal works well especially when saved for a massive audience. Also, look for the sick when you're trying to impress another village. The Japanese wonder increases the power of all healing miracles.

Water (5,000)

Cast the water miracle to irrigate fields and trees. You'll also need the water miracle to put out fires--then again, maybe you'll want to start fires and then put them out with the water miracle. You can use this technique for added belief, both in your own village and others. As you would with the wood and food miracles, click the action button repeatedly for extended rain. Stockpile water one-shots (after building a miracle dispenser) to offset fire disasters.

Fireball (3,500)

The multipurpose fireball can be used for attack or for belief purposes. Hurl fireballs at the enemy's creature to ignite him and cause damage. Teach your creature the fireball spell so that it'll do the same. Hurl fireballs over your own village and others to affect belief. Throw a fireball at night for a dazzling display. Toss the fireball as close as possible to the villagers and village to affect the most belief. But try not to set the village on fire--unless you're evil, of course! The Aztec wonder increases the power of the fireball miracle. You'll also find two variants of the fireball miracle: fireball increase and fireball extreme. Use them to further enhance or influence belief.
