Absorption is the fun part.

Not at all.

If the faith were pure. And please understand, that is a HUGE "if". If the faith were pure, miracles could be produced. Reality is made up of beliefs, which are, when more precisely defined, limits imposed on a circumscribed boundary of spirit. Everything is spirit. Nowadays, most people scoff at the idea of "magic". We come up with fancy words to make the reality of intention-manifestation seem more plausible to ourselves like: energy, quantum field, morphogenetic field, and others. But these are really just mental crutches. Arthur C. Clarke once said that any sufficiently developed technology is indistinguishable from magic. When technology reaches its highest peak, it will (and is) magic. Intent is intelligent by default, and connects with what it is designed to. If that isn't magic, I don't know what is.

Whether there are "random" events or not is actually still up for debate. When you experience "randomness" in your experience its because you attracted it to yourself. Now, there are circumstances where multiple outcomes can extend from the same cause. This, according to some definitions, could constitute a kind of randomness. But randomness doesn't happen to you randomly, if that is what you are asking.

It is all about purity. I don't mean "morally". I mean if your focus is pure, the reaction will be pure. The artist who practices his art becomes very refined, capable of rendering details the laymen would not be able to. Similarly, the art of reality warping or molding is something that may be refined over time. As with anything, practice makes perfect. There is only one way to build a muscle -- utilize it.
