	This [[enchantment]] allows the target to inspire their allies to strike decisively against their enemies. It is equally potent when driving the foe back with a triumphant charge, or launching a last-ditch ~~defense~~ against overwhelming odds. By speaking words of encouragement or command, the magician grants strength to the warriors alongside whom they fight; the greenest recruit or the wiliest veteran alike can be granted the strength to strike devastating blows with the power of this enchantment.		This [[enchantment]] allows the target to inspire their allies to strike decisively against their enemies. It is equally potent when driving the foe back with a triumphant charge, or launching a last-ditch defence against overwhelming odds. By speaking words of encouragement or command, the magician grants strength to the warriors alongside whom they fight; the greenest recruit or the wiliest veteran alike can be granted the strength to strike devastating blows with the power of this enchantment.

	The ritual evokes themes of [[Summer_magic#Nobility\|nobility]] and [[Summer_magic#Majesty\|majesty]]. Many magicians enchanted with this ritual speak of a physical sensation of being "''garbed in power''" - as if they were actually wearing a crown. They tend to carry themselves more proudly, unconsciously enacting mannerisms that their culture associated with leadership or command. This is especially true for magicians of the [[changeling]] [[lineage]], some of whom find that this enchantment perfectly complements their [[Changeling#Roleplaying_Effects\|instincts]] to command others. Interestingly, some [[draughir]] who have experienced the enchantment have reported similar feelings - although in their case the [[roleplaying effects\|urges]] fostered by the ''Glorious Crown of Enchantment'' are a little darker, encouraging them to order their allies around for their own good - and to deal harshly with anyone who questions their instructions.

	The ~~''Glorious Crown of Enchantment''~~ is a battlefield ~~spell that allows a~~ [[~~Groups~~#~~Covens~~\|~~coven~~]] of ~~Summer magicians~~ to empower their ~~warrior~~ allies~~. Used at~~ the right moment, it allows each of them to exert their ritual mastery to immediate tactical effect. The most common battlefield use is to support an army after a long or punishing battle, inspiring warriors to strike decisively against their enemies; to bring them down, to break their shields, or to drive the foe before them with a triumphant charge. It is at its most useful when the ritualists are supported by skilled, heroic warriors.		The ability to replenish the magical [[Summer_magic#Prowess\|prowess]] granted by this enchantment should not be underestimated. While it is usually a little tricky to take advantage of this additional power on the battlefield, the [[Philtres_of_the_High_Peaks#The_Elixir_of_Empyrean_Art\|Elixir of Empyrean Art]] will not only replenish the magician's reserves of personal power but also restore their ability to empower their allies, making that rare [[potion]] even more powerful in the right hands.

	~~The~~ ritual is ~~more powerful the more members~~ of the ~~coven are present, and reaches its highest potential the more ritualists~~ who ~~have not personally mastered~~ the ~~ability~~ to [[~~empower~~]] ~~their allies. It is likely~~ that the [[~~empower~~]] ~~incantation itself began as~~ a ~~refinement of this ritual~~.		Some [[eternals]] are known to offer boons that further enhance the use of this ritual. [[Eleonaris]] is said to favour those with truly noble souls who make use of it to command their allies. [[Barien]] on the other hand is known to offer those who use the enchantment to support and encourage allied heroes [[:Category:Foci\|foci]] that make the ritual easier to perform, or to provide those who make use of it with [[magic items]] similar to a [[Roaring Chimera Rod]] to use the ''empower'' spell even more frequently.
