Relic

Relics (魔導器 Madōki) are special and rare items that provide new abilities or activate particular effects when acquired. They are usually found after defeating the boss of an area. A relic usually can be turned ON or OFF via the game's in-game menu, without consuming any resources. This can be helpful to suit a player's particular way of progressing through the game (e.g.: turning the Faerie Scroll off to remove the enemies' name window and this way have more area of vision on the screen, or capping the hero from a special ability to make the game harder).

In some games, functions characteristic to certain relics are obtained by different means. For example, in the Sorrow games, Soma Cruz can obtain the same abilities by gaining dominance over certain enemies' souls.
