By melting down a large quantity of gold and praying over it continuously for two weeks, a Priest may create a holy symbol consecrated to the Priest's diety. The holy symbol increases the faith of the Priest who possesses it and is necessary for many prayers. This prayer must be used in a Temple.

A priest may create a holy symbol for another priest of the same religion, and a priest who finds or captures an appropriate holy symbol may use it. Since this skill costs 1 NP to learn, and is needed only to create a holy symbol, a noble might be wise to instead buy a holy symbol from a priest who has already learned this skill.
