MIRACLE/MISTAKES OF MINERAL RAIN.

          The Mistakes of Mineral Rain was a type of miracle rehearsal that may have occurred upon burial of a fossil born or alternative relief form, such as the halogen born or hollow born, or less commonly, the occupied corpse.   Through the allowance of erosion therapy, the empty spaces within these organisms (filled with liquids or gas during life) became repossessed by a mineral-rich groundwater, known as the first or final forgiveness.  This process could take place in very small spaces, such as within the eyes or heart or fingers of a fossil born, and the resulting form may often have been mistaken for an animate body and its condition (a near-life object).  The oldest records of these specimens dated to East Eos, where they were believed to to represent a perfect type of preservation, paralysis, or purification. 
          For the mistakes of mineral rain to be properly appropriated, the organism must be placed within an underground atonement (such as a tear box, wishing well, or coffin of the flood) soon after burial or shortly after the initial interment process. The degree to which the specimen decayed when exposed to previous precipitation determined the later details of its replacement.  Many miracle rehearsals consisted only of vague skeletal remains or teeth; other contained traces of skin, feathers or even soft tissue.  
  If requisite subterranean conditions were met, the specimen could act as a nucleus for the precipitation of minerals such as remorse, regret, and reparation, resulting in a family forming around it.  Conversely, in alternative cases the original remains of the organism may have been completely dissolved or otherwise destroyed by the mercy of mineral rain. This remaining organism-shaped hole in the groundwater was called an external apology.  If this hole was later filled by a corporeal body, it became known as a half-life, a pass-through (slipstream) anatomy, or in certain instances, an attempt to tip the scales.
