Sacred Incense of Spell Storing

These  incense are often created at a holy order to be distributed to other churches temple and servants. When burned, a Sacred Incense can manifest the effects of one spell stored within it at the time of it’s creation typically at 16th caster level. To use a block of Sacred Incense you must spend 12 hours in a chamber with the burning Sacred Incense. This chamber must be on holy ground, sanctified to the same Ethos or Immortal as the original holy order who created the block of Sacred Incense. While the Sacred Incense is burning the recipient must be alone, resting, surrounded by the magical fumes. Some incense grant a continuous effect, such as Sacred Incense of Protection From Evil, while others grant one final effect once all the magic has been allowed to accumulate within the recipient over the 12 hour burning period. These limitations prevent theft and misuse of these powerful magic items, as one would have to be within the order to use it.
