	This ritual always involves a small cut or nick to the target, which is highly symbolic of the severing of the bond. Anything that cuts or unravels is also appropriate. Some ritualists tie a cord, ribbon or thread between the target and the item to be unbonded, and then ceremonially cut it at the climax of the spell. Others require the target to cast the item away, over their shoulder, or into a basin of water. Considering that any magician can perform [[create bond]], mastery of this ritual is comparatively rare.

	The rune [[Yoorn]], especially when inscribed on shears, is a common element of this ritual. The name of the Eternal [[Kaela]] may be evoked, especially when cutting the bond between a cursed object and an individual - some magicians prefer to evoke the name of [[Wise Rangara]], and symbolically unravel the bond rather than cutting it directly.

	When the ritual is performed on a single target, the magnitude can be increased to overcome effects that prevent the destruction of a bond, such as [[Riddle Hides the Reward]] or certain curses. If the magnitude of ''Black Iron Blade'' is at least equal to the magnitude of the effect, the bond is severed. This use of the ritual may permanently remove some cursed bonds, but is generally insufficient to remove more powerful and enduring effects. For example, an item that by ~~it's~~ nature makes it hard to sever a bond created to it will not lose that property if a bond is severed with ''Black Iron Blade''. When the magnitude of the ritual is increased and ''all bonds'' are targeted, the ritual severs any bond to the target that is the same or lower magnitude.
