Relics and statistics?

[Đeath’ş Aļļ | Horst Fuchs]

Why some relics have ring and others fist icon? Some important difference or just cause gloves or rings?
Is every relic usable for all my heroes, or are there relics only for specifc characters?
Im asking cause I found no reason why there is no visible change in statistics when I equiping relics which should (by text description) increase attack power, magic or other statistics. I tried to equip different types of weapons, but no differece, stats keep looks like my relics are totaly useless. I already checked SNES manual, but still can't find an answer.

Some bugs, missing visible stats of relic or what's the problem here?
So far i noticed this issue with:

earing
hero's ring
giga's glove

Relic icons don't mean anything.

Some relics are character specific, but most are equip able by anyone.

The relics you called out don't increase character stats but increase damage done by magic / magic & attack / attack specifically. You can test earrings for example on a Magic character by having them cast an offense spell without it, then with it on the same target in another fight.
