Blessings (Hyrule Supplement)
In Hyrule, a blessing is a supernatural gift, magical enhancement, or inherent boon. Much like a magic item, it is usually received as a reward from a powerful or supernatural entity. The power of a blessing becomes an inherent part of the character, and has no physical form.
A blessing is usually received from a being of extraordinary power, such as a Great Fairy or even a deity. Lesser blessings may be the result of drinking from a fairy fountain, uncovering a secret within an ancient ruin, or reading through a tome of arcane secrets, among other possibilities. Adventurers will often seek a blessing much in the same way magic items are sought. Unlike a magic item, a blessing isn't an object and doesn't require attunement. Some blessings grant a constant benefit, while others give an extraordinary ability that can be activated one or more times.
This page lists some example blessings suited to the Hyrule campaign setting. Rarity in this context refers not to how rare a blessing is, but roughly how powerful it is compared to magic items.
