As an enchantment that targets the coven bond, the ritual is exclusive to several other enchantments that affect a coven, such as [[Twist of Moebius]] or [[Standing at the Threshold]].

	A marginal note references the way the original ritual interacted with the use of an item called a “Covenstone of Unremembered Days” (which Teth Anon apparently possessed) to provide a significant increase to the power of a coven to perform precise, effective magic. Theoreticians suggest this is likely to be an ancient name for the item known in the Empire as [[the Syphon of Stars]] - a piece of [[:Category:Paraphernalia\|ritual paraphernalia]] that has a similar effectiveness in helping a coven perform a ritual that some or all of the members have not mastered.

	In Autumn 387YE, the [[Commonwealth]] ritual [[Rule of Risk and Reward]] was added to Imperial lore by the [[Unfettered Mind]]. That ritual has some similarities to this [[Day magic]] enchantment; it provides a more significant boon of [[Day magic#Mastery\|mastery]] but only to a single magician and specifically to the practice of [[arcane projection\|untried magics]]. Examination of ''Rule'', and the involvement of the [[eternal]] known commonly as the [[Sadogua\|Brother of Wizards]] prompted a little renewed interest in ''Garden of Teth-Anon''. Despite their best efforts, the Unfettered Mind has yet to determine which eternal sponsors the power of that ritual which, if stories are to be believed, may be one of the oldest ever added to Imperial Lore. Any ritual that empowers magic [[Eternals_and_rituals#Empowerment\|invariably works]] with the assistance of a powerful [[Inhabitants of the realms\|inhabitant of the realms]]. The fact that the identity of the eternal continues to be unknown presents an intriguing puzzle to magicians with an interest in the esoteric.

	The book was warded with a simple Winter enchantment that protected it from time and the elements – a simple divination suggested it was much, much older than the Delves themselves and most likely pre-dating whatever civilisation had built the ruins. The construction of the book was quite ingenious – a single massive sheet of parchment had been folded and painstakingly sewn again and again, and bound between thin pieces of moonsilver.

	From the original text, Teth Anon was a noble magician in the court of an ancient king. The text was full of references to his wealth and the power of his magic and the many divinations he performed on behalf of his master (I could find no information about this ancient king at all). He appeared to be quite an unpleasant fellow, in my opinion; he revelled in exposing the weaknesses of the king's political opponents and in wielding power over the weak in the name of his royal master.

	The book took great lengths to explain the origin of the name – Teth Anon cultivated a garden of meditation through which he scattered polished mirrors composed of many metals. There were many diagrams and a great deal of esoteric theorising about the various lengths and positions of walls and plants. The inspiration he received during his many meditations helped him to perform powerful improvisational magical effects.

	He spoke often of the way time seemed to slow whenever he meditated here; how an afternoon could seem to stretch and stretch as he meditated. He theorised that by capturing this meditative state, by allowing ritualists to subjectively stretch each moment of spellcasting they could perform important calculations quickly and adjust their ritual performance as the magic was being woven. In this way, great precision could be achieved.</quote>		He spoke often of the way time seemed to slow whenever he meditated here; how an afternoon could seem to stretch and stretch as he meditated.

	The effectiveness of the ritual depends entirely on the abilities of the coven. A coven with a narrow focus on a small handful of rituals they have all mastered will find little use for it. It is much more useful when employed by a coven that seeks to perform a wide range of magical effects – whether they are rituals some of the coven have mastered, or improvisational works of magic created from whole cloth.

			===Assurance===
			This ritual grants an intuitive understanding of magical lores, and as with other such rituals, draws on the power of an [[eternal]], though in this case it is not clear which one. The [[Eternals_and_rituals#Assurance_and_Stipulation\|assurance]] connected with the ritual was lost for several centuries but was unearthed by members of the [[Unfettered Mind]] shortly before the Winter Solstice 387YE. The ritual loses all power and ceases to function when the last troll dies.
