sanctify_artifact_flavor_effect is a scripted effect in Crusader Kings III, written at line 7 of its file. A call passes 1 parameter: PRIEST.

Patch 1.20.1.2, from game/common/scripted_effects/sanctify_artifact_effects.txt.

The comment above it in the file

Effects used by sanctify_artifact_interaction.
Root scope: the artifact being sanctified.
PRIEST = the clergyman performing the rite.
Records the sanctification on the artifact itself: a faith-appropriate blessing epithet on its name,
and a line of description naming who sanctified it, for which faith. The owner also remembers the rite.

What it does

If
- is_holy_relic = no
- has_none_of_variables = { … }
Then
- set_artifact_name = sanctified_artifact_name
set_artifact_description = sanctified_artifact_desc
artifact_owner = { … }
