	Some magicians describe being enchanted with this ritual as exhausting. They talk about experiencing a slowed perception of time when they begin to cast their mend spell, and describe the magic as a "leaden weight" that they must work twice as hard to move as when performing the spell without the benefit of the enchantment. Some Marcher magicians likened using this enchantment to getting a stubborn ox to ~~plow~~ a field - as if the magic itself were surly at the attempt to make it flow more quickly. From the point of view of the observer, however, the magic of the spell is raised and released with great alacrity - but many magicians who endure this enchantment are physically exhausted once they leave the battlefield, and more than one has collapsed into a deep sleep once danger is past. By contrast, [[briar]] magicians who use the spell tend to report enjoying the sensation of having to "wrestle" with their magic, and are invariably left [[Briar#Roleplaying_briars\|full of beans]] after extended use of the power the ritual grants.

	The effect of this ritual has obvious application in dangerous situations; it allows a magician to repair the weapons and shields of their allies without risk of interruption, and without potentially requiring a warrior still engaged with the foe to drop out of line. [[Wintermark magical traditions#Runesmiths\|~~runesmiths~~]] in particular appreciate the enchanted alacrity the ritual provides when it comes to swiftly restoring [[magic items\|magical]] weapons or shields whose properties are otherwise unavailable if they are broken. Some martially inclined magicians, especially among the [[Urizen]] or the [[Dawn magical traditions#War Witches\|war witches]] of [[Dawn]] are able to use the enchantment to keep their own shields, weapons, [[Weapons & Armour#Rods\|rods]], and [[Weapons & Armour#Staff\|staffs]] intact in the face of destructive opponents.

			See Hands of the Healer. As there, Graeme doesn't have a strong opinion either way on magic item use, but I dislike the idea you could suddenly use an item that can only cast to swift-cast given you aren't spending the mana anyway.
