Considering the kinds of powers Mystics have access to on Yrth, some of which are blatantly supernatural (see GURPS Banestorm, p. 213), I don't really have a problem with using Divine Favor as it is. And the "Simple Faith" segment on p. 27 suggests that even praying for miracles is possible, for some genuinely devout.

Still, people with the ability to do "general prayers" for miracles should be very rare, and limited to the genuinely devout - don't allow it to player characters unless you can be sure that the player can act the part.

Furthermore, Mystics seem to be somewhat more common than people who can do general prayers. Perhaps there should be some sort of limitation on Divine Favor which limits it to learned prayers?
