Some notes about creating Holy Symbols in the Fane:


Go all the way to the top

There are quite a few stairs here, go all the way to the top. Once there, there will be a main chamber with 3 small chambers (Light, Gray, and Dark). Go to the one your Deity is aligned to.


How to Create a Holy Symbol

In each small chamber there are obelisks; find the one for your Deity.

The mechanism for creating a Holy Symbol is straightforward: Cast Bless Item at the appropriate obelisk (Do not use the wrong one! - You have been warned). A Holy Symbol will be created for you, and dropped into your hand. There is a cooldown period between creating symbols, as it drains spirit which must be replenished before the next cast.


One final hint: Use Spirit Guide to avoid climbing down the stairs.

Important Note: If you INVOKE 304 from a scroll as a non-cleric class and cast at the appropriate obelisk, nothing happens. Creation of a holy symbol appears to be restricted to clerics.

Example of a symbol created from the Lorminstra Obelisk: a gold-traced banded onyx key symbol.
