Using miracle with max hp causes you to lose 1 health.  Minor issue at worst, I like using all my cards on the last turn and caused me to lose elemental master.

Not a bug, but a feature.

Read the card text closely. It states: "Heal yourself to maximum health minus 1. This spell consumes all your light quanta left."

This means that it sets your current HP equal to (maximum HP - 1).
Let's say your maximum HP is 100. Using a Miracle would set it to 99 (which is 100-1).
I'm doing science, and I'm still alive.

Welcome to the forums ImperialUser!

Generally, before you post a topic, you want to read the stickies (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,11523.0.html) first - they generally answer the most common questions.

Quick fix to your problem - stop playing miracle at full health :P

Actually, I'd take issue with the fact that it will damage you if played at full health.  The card text says, "Heal yourself to maximum health minus 1."  If you're already above that amount, it shouldn't have any effect at all - it says it'll heal you, not "set your HP to X."  Miracle used at full health is a misclick or a misconception anyway, so I don't see why Zanz shouldn't implement a quick if-clause to stop that little side effect.

I understand what it says, but johannhowitzer explained it perfectly.  It reads as a heal, it doesn't say it sets your health to max -1 but heals to max -1.  I know that now so I don't mind if it changes or not, I won't make that mistake again.

And thanks for the welcome to the forums.  Hopefully I don't get lost figuring out the forums.
