Chrism holders are items worn by adventurers that hold chrism gems and introduced at Ebon Gate 2011. When dead, the adventurer can LOOK at the item to pop the chrism out onto the ground. When the gem hits the ground, there is a small chance that the gem will break, thus leaving the body with no chrism.
At Ebon Gate 2012 and other special events, merchants have offered services upgrade chrism holders to also work on a cleric using Symbol of the Proselyte (340). Chrism holders typically cost 100,000 silvers off the shelf. Chrism holders are not automatically holy symbols.
Chrism holders were not available at Ebon Gate 2019. When asked on Discord on October 18, 2019 GM Wyrom stated, "Chrism Holders are likely on hiatus for a long time".
Usage
PUSH a holder with a chrism gem in hand to load it. LOOK at the holder (while dead) to drop the chrism gem to the ground for a cleric to pick up. {{boldmono|PULL a loaded chrism holder (while alive) to remove the chrism gem from the holder.
Greater Chrism Holders
Greater chrism holders (GCHs) were introduced at Ebon Gate 2012 and automatically chrism the wearer when LOOKed at. Thus, the wearer will receive the full benefit of a chrism without the need for a cleric raise, and there is no chance of chrism breakage from hitting the ground. In addition, GCHs provide a chance for the chrism to replenish and the gem can be used again on the next death.
The holy magic within the {item} glows with a bright white aura, replenishing the blue diamond liquid interior and sealing the crack to make it whole again. The blue diamond remains nestled in the {item}'s bezel setting.
Known GCHs include six that grant the wearer self-knowledge of Prayer of Protection (303) (distributed at Return to Coraesine Field), two that provide a +2 to spirit recovery enhancive (distributed at Cessation of Coraesine Field), and one that offers no benefit outside of self-chrism usage.
Loresong of Greater Chrism Holder
As your song flows into a XXX, your vision fades into darkness. When the darkness is lifted, you find yourself laying still on the ground. You try to move, but your physical actions are stopped. Panic sets in just as your verse ends, causing your vision to end. This is a small item, under a pound. In your best estimation, it's worth about 50,000 silvers. You can also tell that there is some type of metal in the structure of the XXX. Roundtime: 6 sec. You sense a faint aura of magic surrounding the XXX. You sense that this is some type of holy item. From the pitch of the vibration you determine that the purpose of the XXX is unusual, but the exact use escapes you. Roundtime: 9 sec. Your song continues and you once again find yourself floating above your body. The XXX fascinates you as you stare at a chrism gem nestled into its bezel. A sudden overwhelming sensation floods your spectral form as if you could possibly interact with the XXX. As the sensation fades, so does the vision. You sense a divine influence within the XXX. Roundtime: 7 sec. Before the words fully escape your mouth, you are returned to the song's visions. The iridescent glow seems to be the source of the empowering sensation. You feel that if you look at the XXX long enough, you could cause the aura of holy magic to fade and crack open the gem resting within the bezel of the XXX, releasing the contents on your corpse. There might even be a chance to replenish the gem to work again. Your vision ends abruptly as your song draws to a close. It appears to be a holy symbol. You feel that you have reached the end of the XXX's song. Roundtime: 9 sec.
