This particular relic is a big favorite among Servitors of Jean and Christopher. Physically resembling a standard, eight-hole LegoÔ piece, the artifact contains a variant form of the Celestial Song of Form that allows the user to alter inanimate objects. This effect lasts for (Users Celestial Forces x Check Digit), and costs 1 Essence for each 500 lb. of weight to be altered (the Universal LegoÔ also acts as a dedicated reliquary/6).

There are several fairly hefty restrictions to this relic, however. The first, and most important, is that the only materials that can be altered are LegosÔ . The relic cannot change anything else.

Second, size remains unchanged (though mass can vary): if the relic is attached to a six-inch sculpture of a car, it will transform it into a working car … six inches long. Also, any device made by this method will have neither fuel nor ammunition, unless the original sculpture somehow incorporated these into the design.

Third, the user may not use this relic to create anything that he or she is not personally familiar with. As a general rule, anyone with Earthly experience could create a hand weapon ("sword", "knife", or "gun") or vehicle. Specific weapons, or a particular model of vehicle, or an elaborate piece of electronic equipment, requires rolls against both the relevant skill (GM call) and Artistry (LegoÔ Sculpture). A failure on either roll produces an unreliable device: failure on both means that the whole thing has to be taken apart and reassembled. However, the sculpture does not have to be done by the user of the relic.

This does not mean that a LegoÔ car has to be a perfect mock-up of a real car for this relic to work. A solid block of LegosÔ , with discernable wheels, can actually be turned into a working automobile: it will just be a fairly poor car. A sculpture that lovingly recreates a Ferrari, complete with bucket seats, steering wheel and windshield wipers will give a much better end result. The sculptor can take penalties to his Artistry roll to improve performance (+1 to rolls involving the device for every -1 to the Artistry roll).

Lastly, this is not a subtle artifact. Constantly altering the fundamental nature of a set of plastic blocks causes a continuous disturbance in the Symphony. Jean has been asked to work on this.

All devices made by this relic have the same statistics, damage and Body hits as their "normal" counterparts (the Universal LegoÔ itself is invulnerable to all damage). As a special effect, if pieces from the device are broken off, the debris immediately reverts back to its original form (as would all transformed ammunition, once it has done damage). This can cause awkward questions, later…

Needless to say, this relic is mostly used as a holdout weapon, as making large devices from scratch usually takes too long to be useful. The largest item ever made with this relic was a tank, but that involved several Universal LegosÔ and the lucky discovery of a particularly fanatical LegoÔ sculptor … and, even then, the angels involved had no shells for the main cannon. Fortunately, simply running over the attacking Hellsworn was sufficiently effective.

Jean and Christopher usually reserve these artifacts to especially successful Servitors. Some have shown up among demons, but it seems that they are captured, rather than locally made. Vapula apparently has not yet been able to reverse-engineer the trick, despite his best efforts. This might explain why Jean would have designed such a frivolous relic in the first place.
