	This incredible ritual was the second ever codified using the loom of spells after the ambitious entrepeneur Sanvar Isk of the City of Chains negotiated access for the grateful magicians of the Empire. It was formulated by a number of young folk, keen to receive the sort of practical experience of ritual codification and the application of magical theories that one can only get when given the chance to work under true masters of the arcane arts, and that will surely help them get ahead in their chosen fields.

	Congregations are places that Imperial people come together to think about virtue, and to learn from their priests about the best and most effective ways to live their lives. Those who are more forthright, more inspiring, more entertaining, who can move their listeners with the power of their words, attract more people to their services and are rightly judged by the Empire to be more skilled priests. In turn, those moved by the priest's words will see other priests as duller, less compelling – ensuring that they return to the right congregation week after week.

	This ritual was codified at the [[Inkpot_gods#The_Loom_of_Spells\|Loom of Spells]] under the guidance of ''Sanvar Isk'', a herald of Callidus.

	As a ritual codified by young unpaid apprentices at the Loom of Spells, the ritual text itself is somewhat unique in tone, being full of hyperbole, flattery, and outlandish claims. The actual magic itself creates an [[enchantment]] somewhat reminiscent of [[Mantle of the Golden Orator]], but rather than working through webs of connection and familiarity, it works by [[Night_magic#Inspiration\|inspiring]] preachers and congregants alike. It helps make it easier for people to express themselves on matters of spirituality, and encourages lay folk associated with a congregation to ask questions and explore their own beliefs. It can also attract new people to a shrine, church, or temple simply through tales of the "good feelings" associated with services and ceremonies performed there while the ritual enchantment is in effect.

	The civil service do not make a distinction between a congregation that has temporarily increased in size through the influence of this ritual and one that has been increased by other means - the faithful are still ~~wcelebrating~~ and receiving spiritual advice, and the rules are quite clear that this means the congregation in question gains additional allocation of [[liao]] and votes.

	Those priests already inclined to view ''Mantle of the Golden Orator'' with suspicion have already expressed significant concerns with this new ritual.
