Described in Complete Champion, a special holy symbol is a holy symbol that has been properly blessed and is particularly favored by the diety. Anyone in any spellcasting class can use a special holy symbol as a focus for their spells to gain the benefit, but you can only use a holy symbol of your patron deity. This means you must be within one alignment step of that deity to use such a symbol, you must actually worship them (at least on occasion), and once you've committed to one, you can't switch without a serious change through RP (or an Atonement spell)
These items each cost 350 GP, have hardness 5 and 10 hit points, and must be touched with one hand to use as a focus. (You need not touch it if it is on your person and you are using the Still Spell feat)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bladed Flute of Chan: This piccolo shaped like a dagger (or dagger shaped like a piccolo) does a poor job when actually used for either function. Though it is not necessary to blow through the flute while casting, many of his followers choose to.
When brought to the caster's mouth during a casting of Luck domain spells or spells that have the sonic descriptor, the Bladed Flute of Chan increases your effective caster level by 1.
Hypnogogia's Tower: This twisted, spiral replica of a tower hangs from the neck, about the size of a dart. It is painted specially black and purple, the colors causing an optical illusion of swirling, as if the tower itself is animated. The tower momentarily stifles any light immediately around it when touched during a spell casting, granting shadow spells that are partly real +10% quasi-reality and spells with the darkness descriptor +1 caster level.
