What does お使いになられた mean


So in this game there is a line about how some object is called a dragon egg
and inside it seems there are these magic items that god placed inside. The
part of the sentence that I do not get is お使いになられた. お使い is a messenger and
なられた is the passive form of なる. It sounds like the magic items became the
messenger. Maybe I am misunderstanding the use of the passive verb here. Could
someone clarify that section this to me?

> あれは竜の卵と呼ばれるもので中に神さまが **お使いになられた** 魔法の品が入っておるそうな。




Seems you are overanalyzing the phrase.

「お使いになられた」 here is simply the **_honorific_** form of the past-tense verb
「使った」("used") -- nothing more, nothing less. It is 100% in the **_active_**
voice. The honorific form is used because the subject of the verb is God.

「お使い」 does not mean a "messenger" here, either. It is the **_honorific noun
form_** of the verb 「使う」. "The act of using (something)", that is.

You will need to learn the common honorific verb form:

> 「お/ご + Noun + になる」
