	Like [[Illuminate the Higher Mind]] and [[Transcendent Mastery]], this ritual imprints precise knowledge of how incantations are performed, their effects and limitations, into the mind of the target. By using that knowledge they can perform the spell 'by rote' and greatly increase their personal knowledge of magical incantations.		Like [[Illuminate the Higher Mind]] and [[Transcendent Mastery]], this ritual imprints precise knowledge of how incantations are performed, their effects and limitations, into the mind of the target. By using that knowledge they can perform the spell 'by rote' and greatly increase their personal knowledge of magical incantations.

	The magical knowledge is more fragile than that granted by ''Illuminate the Higher Mind'' and erodes completely overnight. It allows a [[Groups#Covens\|coven]] to focus their magical lore into a number of individual magicians, often with the intention of sending those individuals somewhere the coven as a whole are not going. It is rarely cast by a solo ritualist, although it would certainly be possible - the problem is that a ritualist powerful enough to perform the ritual solo rarely has a broad range of skills from which to choose. That said, there are several cases where a venerable [[Varushka magical traditions#Volhov\|volhov]] or a [[Varushka religious beliefs\|wise one]] has shared potent incantations with a young apprentice, or a staid [[Earl\|enchanter]] has bestowed a surprising range of battlefield incantations on an ally.		<!--The magical knowledge is more fragile than that granted by ''Illuminate the Higher Mind'' and erodes completely overnight. -->It allows a [[Groups#Covens\|coven]] to focus their magical lore into a number of individual magicians, often with the intention of sending those individuals somewhere the coven as a whole are not going.

	The ritual usually involves a symbolic transfer of knowledge between the character or characters who know the chosen spells, and the recipients.

In cases where there are multiple magicians 'donating' spell knowledge, each will give a short lecture or demonstration in turn while the rest of the [[Groups#Covens\|coven]] counterpoint with chants or gentle music.
