...I fail to see the difference between divine miracles and magic. See DeusExMachina, AWizardDidIt, the fact that MagicAIsMagicA is a trope (one often averted/subverted, at that) and not a given constant, and that trope (can\'t remember the exact name...DivineMagic, or something?) that\'s all about magic coming from the gods/deities of the setting.

Oh, and there is also no distinction between magic \\\"coming from God and magic coming from a force in the observable universe\\\". If it comes from a god of any kind, then it \\\'\\\'comes from a force in the observable universe\\\'\\\'. If it is not part of the observable universe, then it does not really exist, no matter what your setting. Something being inherently unobservable by anyone/anything has a very hard time creating observable effects, especially on the \\\"random, highly specific miracle in a tiny spot on a planet out of hundreds of trillions spread out over uncountable lightyears\\\".
