Religious symbol

A literal holy symbol of Sarenrae.

A religious symbol is both a unique figurative representation of a deity, and a literal symbol of that god that is owned or worn by their followers.^[1] Symbols of benign or neutral gods are sometimes specified as holy symbols, while unholy symbol is used for those of evil powers. Certain devout followers of a god (such as clerics) must use a religious symbol to channel positive and negative energy. Certain divine spells also require a symbol as a divine focus for casting. A symbol can be made of any number of materials, including wood or silver.^[2]^[3]

A figurative holy symbol of Shelyn.
