I can't agree with the second part of your statement. I think you've worded it wrong/weird. If you want to create a fountain of coke, for example, and take some mentos and put it in the coke, and create of fountain of coke, that is something that happened because you want it to.

No, I mean something happened as a direct result of wanting, to therefore imply psychic powers or divine intervention. Not indirectly, such as wanting a fountain and then making one.
