Effect: This spell
is used to prepare a cleric's holy symbol,
or to create a new symbol
to replace a lost or damaged one.
The new
symbol-to-be, which is the spell's
material component (and obviously
is not consumed in the casting),
must be crafted of appropriate
{material} depending on
the religion/deity in question, and must
be of the proper shape and
design -- a cleric cannot pick up just any
{item} and make it into
a holy symbol.
A cleric may possess two holy
symbols at one time, and
this spell can be used to create a second
one as a spare. No cleric
can create a holy symbol
related to a religion
or deity other than the
one that he or she worships. The holy symbol of
a good or evil cleric will
radiate a faint aura of good or evil, but is not a
magical object per se.
The holy symbol
of a cleric who is of neutral <sacred symbol>
morals (with respect to
good and evil) will have no such aura.
MC: The material component
of the spell is the new symbol-to-be: it is not consumed in the casting.
(See ^above^)

Shukenja:
By means of this spell the shukenja creates a holy
symbol from a previously crafted item.
The item must
be made of appropriate materials
(determined by the shukenja's deity), and the shukenja may only make a
holy
symbol for his or her deity.
A shukenja may carry up
to two holy symbols at any time, and the holy
symbol radiates good or evil, depending
on the shukenja's alignment.
