Usually made with the material preferred by the deity it is tied to, this relic bestows upon the user the blessings of its deity. If the user meets the prerequisites set forth by the deity who blessed it, they gain the benefits of the Bless spell.

Relic Power: If you have established the proper divine connection, you may gain the effects of the Prayer spell as if cast only on you once per day by speaking the command word. The command word is usually associated with the faith of the chosen deity.

To use the relic's power, you must worship the deity tied to the relic and sacrifice a 3rd-level divine spell slot or have the True Believer feat. You must also complete an appropriate ritual to the chosen deity at dawn.

Lore: Deities often bestow their faithful with simple tokens to express their gratitude for their continued faith (Knowledge [religion] DC 15). Often, it is not explained that greater blessings can be achieved by those who display their faith to their chosen deity through this relic (Knowledge [religion] DC 20).

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, Sanctify Relic, Bless, Prayer, Alignment matching that of the chosen deity
