Brazier of Benediction
Description
A Censer or Brazier of Benediction is a religious talisman used to offer additional potence to ceremonies that hallow, consecrate or anoint. At its most basic it takes the form of a vessel used for burning incense or aromatic herbs as part of a ceremony - most often used in conjunction with liao. These talismans may consist of anything from a simple earthenware bowl or fire pots to an intricately carved silver or gold vessel. They are most often decorated with symbols of Loyalty, Courage, Prosperity or Ambition or with devices appropriate to the faith as a whole (especially the sevenfold-labyrinth design).
A priest who uses one of these handy talismans is able to create more powerful auras than normal by using more than the normal dosage of liao. It is quite common for a priest that is bonded to this article of regalia to use it in all religious ceremonies, even those to which it does not necessarily offer any additional potence.
