== '''Explanation''' ==
Humans are creatures defined largely by their tools,
and this relationship shows up time and time again in
the legends they pass on. The tools of the Gods play a
major role in defining Avatars as well. Relic, items of divine origin are always associated with one divine dominion or another; Avatars without the direct intervention of their divine parent can still learn new dominions through the acquisition of relics.

The Relic trait rating represents how many of the
divine Purviews can be accessed through a single Relic.
If a character has a particular Dominion, she may activate
it as long as she has an appropriate Relic. The Wind’s
Freedom Boon (see p. 146), for example, can be used if
the Avatar possesses a relic of the Dominion of Sky — assuming,
of course, that the character’s player purchased that
of course, she has another relic that happens to cover
that same Dominion).

Mere possession, however, is insufficient. The Avatar
must also be able to use the item, which depends on
the nature of the relic. Books must be read, swords
must be wielded, bags of gris-gris must be opened and
sprinkled. An Avatar who is unconscious, restrained by
rope or chain, or has her sacred Relic buried deep inside
a backpack and out of easy reach won’t usually be able to
access her Relics or their associated Dominions.

An important caveat: A particular relic might allow
an Avatar to use Dominions from a certain divine portfolio, but
that doesn’t mean the Avatar now has access to every
Dominion of that sphere. The character may use only those
powers his player purchased at character creation or
through the expenditure of experience points.
