Casus belli · Artifacts
Holy Relic Reclamation
The war is called “Reclaim Holy Relics War”
Holy Relic Reclamation is a casus belli in Crusader Kings III (artifacts). If the attacker wins: You take ownership of all Holy Relics for … that are held by the defender and their non-… Vassals. If the defender wins: No Artifacts change hands. Declaring it costs prestige. The war goal is worth 80% war score. Patch 1.20.0.3, from game/common/casus_belli_types/01_ep1_wars.txt.

Cost to declare
Costs prestige. The amount is worked out when you declare (by the titles targeted, claims, distance and more), so the script is shown as written:
Cost (8 lines of game script)
prestige = {
value = 0
add = {
value = medium_prestige_value
desc = CB_BASE_COST
}
multiply = common_cb_prestige_cost_multiplier
