Prerequisites: None.
Benefit: Choose an item you own. The item must be of masterwork quality, and it must be an item with special meaning to you. At any time, you may retreat to a consecrated or hallowed location and spend time in prayer or meditation in order to awaken the spirits in your ancestral relic. This requires a sacrifice of valuable items worth the difference between the market price of the magic item your relic will become and the market price of your current relic. This sacrifice does not have to be gold—you can sacrifice magic items or other goods worth the required amount, rather than selling your goods (at half value) to pay for the sacrifice. You must spend 1 hour per 1,000 gp value you sacrifice in prayer or meditation, limited to a maximum of 5 hours per day.
A character's level dictates the maximum value of his or her bonded relic, as shown in the table. No character may have more than one bonded relic, though a matched set of items may be treated as a single relic as long as the combined value of the entire set remains under the owner's maximum value.
