	The general used to focus this ritual experiences a short-lived [[roleplaying effect]]: ''you are immediately made aware of every single soldier and piece of equipment in the army, their status, readiness and prowess. This rush of information may be overpowering - it might knock you off their feet, stun you for a minute or two, or even cause a loss of consciousness.''

	This ritual empowers and enhances an army, using the Imperial general as focus. Every soldier in the target army gains an increased awareness of their role within the army, and the needs of the army as a whole. Officers are aware of the status and needs of the soldiers who fight under them, and gain a much greater understanding of the purpose and goal of strategic and tactical decisions. They become adept at evaluating their opponents, as well as those fighting alongside their own army, compensating for weaknesses in their allies and exploiting those of their foes. Captains and commanders receive an even more wide-ranging awareness, being able to understand and collate information about enemy movements and strength, the effects of terrain and weather, and the probabilities of success for any given maneuverer. The army does not become infallible, but it gains an unparalleled ability to work as a single unit and to make informed decisions about how best to proceed. This clarity extends to interactions both with other campaign armies and with soldiers who join the army later, helping them to integrate and allowing the commanders to make reasonable decisions about their abilities.

	The general used to focus this ritual experiences a short-lived [[roleplaying effect]]: ~~they~~ are immediately made aware of every single soldier and piece of equipment in the ~~target campaign~~ army, their status, readiness and prowess. This rush of information ~~is often sufficient to~~ knock ~~a general~~ off their feet or even cause a loss of consciousness, ~~but fades entirely within around ten seconds.

This rush of information may be overpowering - it might knock you off their feet, stun you for a minute or two, or even cause a loss of consciousness.''

			Thereafter, as long as the enchantment persists, the general experiences a less overwhelming version of this roleplaying effect: ''You are supernaturally aware of the status of the soldiers in your army, and their morale. You can bring to mind their names and origins, as well as gain an awareness of their capabilities and equipment. When talking about military matters it is easy and natural to drop details such as these into your conversation.''
