Regalia

Regalia (神器, Shinki; literally "Sacred Treasure") are powerful artifacts wielded by the. Often taking the form of a functional weapon, these are tools which are imbued with a portion of a kami's power, granting certain abilities to their loyal retainers in order for them to carry out their duties as inhabitants of the. Tennin wield a Regalia that is forged with the spiritual essence of the god they serve, meaning that they are granted some minor degree of that god's power and abilities. However, it should be noted that however minor that may be, even an iota of a god's power can be frightening to behold. This strength can be further refined and evolved by the Tennin through training and experience as they make the Regalia's power their own. It is said that the power of these Regalia inspired the creation of the, despite the fact that they operate in completely different ways; however, they are noted to carry similarities as well.
