For 1 round, if you or an ally throw this container at a foe, it has the damaging effects of holy water (if you follow a good deity) or unholy water (if you follow an evil deity).

If you have legendary proficiency in Religion, you can sanctify three containers held by you or allies within your reach instead of one.

This is a temporary effect and doesn't impart monetary value or allow the water to be used for costs of rituals or the like. If you're a master in Religion, you can sanctify two containers when you take this action, and if you're legendary, you can sanctify three.
