Relic (CofD)
Relic is a catch-all term used to describe magical items that fall outside the bounds of other, more specific terms.
Overview
Capable of being modern inventions or ancient artifacts, the only true defining features of relics are their power and their symbolic significance, be it famous or personal. Take, for example, the Golden Apple described in the short stories of World of Darkness: Reliquary. Its significance, a symbol of envy and desire likely drawn from myths of Eris, informs its power: Fomenting obsession with it in any who gaze upon it.
