Assassin - Miracles

It had to be a miracle that could bring death, swiftly and reliably; a miracle greater than any known to a zindīq or mohareb. She was a member of a sect that pursued such miracles: the Hashshashin, a cult that was zealotic by its very nature. Even in the innermost circles of the cult, however, she was scorned as a zealot among zealots. The past grandmasters of the cult had all performed a miracle bearing the name of Shaytān, and in doing so earned their titles.

Each and every one of them was shocked by her deeds.

None of them was prepared to believe what they had seen. She was but a young girl, a mere lamb—

How could she master all the miracles performed by the preceding 18 grandmasters?

There was no question that she had honed herself with the most Herculean of efforts.

(...)

That was only half the problem. Her ability to master so many miracles, when mastery of a single one would take an ordinary person a lifetime—that was the other half. The people may well have feared her, knowing that she was able to achieve those miracles in a matter of years.
