Because relics aren’t magic so they’re automatically irrelevant in vetex’s eyes
Relics are an after-thought because he couldn’t figure out a 4th class idea, so instead of building a class around a set-in-stone ability, he built the ability around the class, and hence makes no sense realistically in lore.
therefore; he forgor doesn’t care.
I would suggest having more people talk about Relics to maybe convince Vetex to think about them in full… be we all know how that went with strength… we have the grace of them not being done, and having lore relevance, they’ll get their time one day.
As much as I love spirit builds, I cannot deny that I wouldn’t complain about spirit being scrapped so more time could be spent on developing the other build paths
He did start working on chapter 10 apparently so we have a chance
Mistral Update 
Full Release
Dragon Update
Chapter 10 Update is Spirit Realization update 
WRONG! 5 More rare scrolls to Magereal!
millions upset because the game about magic lets them use other things
I personally hope we get relics with the all weather control stuff sooner rather than later, I wanna see oracles start throwing a bunch of natural disasters at people
The sadness that consumed me when it was revealed that the Eagle Patrimony didn’t summon a Lightning bolt was immeasurable— it could do one damage and it’d still be the greatest thing AO would’ve had.
the thing in the RPG that requires a lot of levelling before it becomes really good, except it never becomes really good, it just acts as a prelude to really good things.
(edit: oh i’m thinking of starter pokemon for the good example)
Convince + Vetex? There was already a second coming of christ, we can’t have more miracles.
curses are basically just straight up the peak of that magic, if you were weak, simply obtaining a curse lets you stop aging and stay in your peak of health
and then relics, just a fancy item to perform these weird moves, relics certainly ain’t anywhere close to a curse unless the person who is using the relic is actually strong already, no power boost.
and if you attempt to modify your own body to stop aging you might just fail and die
relics might be a commodity item for merchants though due to their rarity
naturally, the greedy pirate world neglects the fact that getting a curse usually brings out the worst in you and stops you from getting any character development.
so, if you have critical thinking skills, you’d want a relic. another reason why Theos is the greatest.
I’m not seeing the reasoning why the relics must be comically powerful just because they were made by the gods.
Such as turning into a tree, or a chicken, or a librarian.
i just think it says a lot about randal that the worst of him is just not sharing.
Oracles will tell themselves this and then suffer a fatal stroke at the young age of 29 years old, because they wanted to make their hearts bigger.
/s
relics are kind of a cool magic system. it’s a shame they became side-content in this game about a really generic and uninteresting magic system.
