	Imperial magicians are still experimenting with the resonances of this [[Summer magic\|Summer ritual]]. Given it innately involves a battle-magician and their mage ~~amour~~, that connection is often the focus of the ritual performance. The mage armour may be ceremonially donned as part of the performance, each piece accompanied by an invocation or marked with a rune or symbol. [[Dawn\|Dawnish]] [[Dawn_magical_traditions#War_witches\|warwitches]] have been quick to point out the value of [[Dawn_hearth_magic#Girding\|girding]] when creating this enchantment. Key points on the body that correspond roughly to the locations where mage armour is worn (the brow, the shoulders, the forearms, the shins, the belly, the chest and the neck) might also take place. A practitioner of [[blood magic]] might prick the skin at each of these locations, spilling a few drops of blood, before donning the corresponding piece of mage armour.

It ''can'' lead to a little overconfidence, but also encourages the magician to rely on their comrades as well as themselves.
