	As a Summer ritual, it fills the ship's captain and crew with vigorous, boisterous energy, and helps ensure their vessel receives good winds when engaged in tight manoeuvres. It doesn't particularly help them to fight alongside other ships as such – that would be much more resonant with a ritual created in the ~~Realm~~ of Autumn. Some of the more superstitious magicians at the Lyceum express concerns that the imagery, and potentially the resonance, of the new name is at odds with how it works and what it does – and that this might conceivably have a deleterious effect on the enchantment it produces.

	The ritual enhances a fleet, its crew, and its vessels using the connection to its captain. Symbols representing the fleet, the camaraderie of the crew, and the ships themselves are often used – flags in particular may serve as the focus of the ritual.

	This ritual was codified for the Autumn Equinox 385YE at the [[Dean_of_the_Lyceum#The_Lyceum\|Lyceum]], under the guidance of the Dean, '''Palaphon Ankarien''' of Urizen. It was based on work performed by '''Carlos of the Navigators of Virtue''' of Highguard. The ritual was originally called ''Wayfarer's Call to Arms'', expressing a desire to see the Highborn embrace a lost legacy of maritime endeavour. During the codification, however, the Dean of the Lyceum Palaphon Ankarien decreed that it would be renamed ''Piranhas Devour the Kraken'' - perhaps wishing to conjure the image of a number of smaller fleets swarming around an enemy navy and picking it apart.

If the owner of the resource does not attend the next event, then any ''additional'' production provided by the resource is still added to that character's inventory.

This ritual can affect additional fleets belonging to characters in the same [[banner]]. Each additional fleet increases the magnitude by 15. The character who controls each fleet must be present throughout the ritual.
