How to level up existing relics? What job i need to preform?

The fastest way is to attune them to a mage. As the mage gets XP (mainly from combat or rituals, or from trials if they are a student), the relic will level up as well. The relics displayed on plinths will also level up slowly.

I think the relic system is really buggy right now, I have relics on all of my leveling and fighting apprentice, and most of the relics are not getting any progress. The couple that have got little bit of progress haven't even reached one level while my mages are at level 10 already and cannot get anymore exp until I have researched third tier wands. Also they get randomly double images stuck around the rooms after being "attuned" and hence cannot be moved

edit: ahh sheesh I just realized what is the issue. That bar was not about exp but attuning. My bloody mages haven't bothered to actually attune their relics even when they are idling.. Gonna try increasing the priorities of the benches and mages >_<

Ok I think this solved all the issues, the glitchy "doubles" I saw happening were because the mages didn't even physically pick up the relics, despite you see it on their profile, and I didn't realize they had to do this whole ordeal first by the benches, while the attuning task itself is placed very low on the priority scale. Set them all to high priority instead of regular to stop them messing about and start gaining actual exp on them
