---

*An ancient miracle owed to the cardinal of Shulva.  
Challenge fate one time when HP reaches 0.*

*Originally intended to grant the  
dying a few moments for a final farewell.*

### Use

---

If the player receives a killing blow while this miracle is active, they won't die but will survive with under 15 HP instead. Duration depends on Faith.

### Availability

---

Found behind a wheel contraption in Dragon's Sanctum near the Hidden Sanctum Chamber bonfire.  
Requires shooting a button from three different angles (arrows and Firebombs work).

### Notes

---

- A very handy spell for boss battles and can save you life, though it is not very effective if there is damage over time effects in the boss battle.
- Does not work on fall damage.
- Does not cancel poison, making it useless against it.
- This spell does not increase in casts with Attunement.
- Hexer's Hood, Saint's Hood, and Northern Ritual Band gives one more cast.
- The Crown of the Old Iron King will restore the charge every two minutes.
- At 50 faith the duration is roughly 4 minutes and 2 seconds, and can be extended beyond that with Lingering Dragoncrest Ring.
- 60 seconds appears to be the minimum.
