Deus Ex Machina means something like God of the machine (from machine? something like that). It means a magical solution for a plot hole. Or for the plot itself. Like Saphira´s magic, the potion that can do wathever Paolini needs it... in short, it´s a sheap trick.
(There´s a whole wiki article, if you feel like researching about the origin of the expression. It´s fun ^_^)
