Miracle worker
A miracle worker was someone who could perform exceedingly difficult or unbelievable tasks with seemingly relative ease. 

Montgomery Scott had the reputation of being a miracle worker. (; , ; ) In 1986, Leonard McCoy made the same claim about "Professor" Scott to Doctor Nichols, who was "most impressed" with Scott's  knowledge. () 

Part of the reason he was known for his miracle working was allegedly due to his multiplying the estimated time it would take to effect repairs by a factor of four, otherwise known as mastering the art of buffer time. He admitted as much after James T. Kirk, to whom he'd just promised to be able to complete a supposed eight week task in two, suggested he may have always done so, adding that he couldn't keep up a reputation for being a miracle worker if he didn't. () He later advised  chief engineer Geordi La Forge that he had a lot to learn if he wanted people to consider him one, too. This comment was made after La Forge admitted he had been honest about how long a repair would take rather than exaggerating it. ()

In 2267, McCoy, while attempting to explain how "Lazarus"'s wound seemed to disappear, sarcastically described himself as "a bright young medic with a miraculous touch". ()

In 2367, Bolian barber V'Sal teased La Forge, saying that although he realized the engineer wanted to look beautiful as a result of his ministrations, he was "just a barber, not a miracle worker", thereby calling La Forge ugly. ()

The Holy Sages were said to be able to perform miracles, something Arridor claimed in 2373 that he and  did with their replicator. ()
