Enchant Artifact    (CMC:2)

You may choose to play Relic Ward as an instant; if you do, bury it at end of turn. Enchanted artifact cannot be the target of spells or effects.

Asmira's prayers alone should have freed Mangara from the amber prison . . .

Does not destroy Auras which are on the artifact, and it does not prevent Auras from being moved onto the artifact.

The sacrifice occurs only if you cast it using its own ability. If you cast it using some other effect (for instance, if it gained flash from Vedalken Orrery), then it won't be sacrificed.
