	''Meditations'' records that the eternal [[Meraud]] offered helpful advice during the formulation of the original ritual, but the magicians of the [[Dean_of_the_Lyceum#The_Lyceum\|Lyceum]] chose not to directly involve any eternal in its creation reasoning that giving an eternal another method to influence the [[~~Imperial army~~\|Imperial armies]] was not ideal. When the ritual was originally codified, [[General]] Clarisse de Rhenai of the [[Golden Sun]] and Gundal of the [[Green Shield]] reportedly fought a duel for the right to be the first to be enchanted with it. The Dawnish general was the victor and the first target of the ritual.

He was acquitted however and the ritual went on to be used several times during the campaigns of Empress Brannan against the Druj.

	This ritual enhances a campaign army, and the general of the target army serves as a vital focus for delivering the magic. A banner or standard that will be used by the target force makes an ideal additional focus for the ritual. The magic involves unleashing powerful emotions that urge an army to violence, and as such the general should be encouraged to maintain their [[Urizen_culture_and_customs#Poise\|poise]] - to harness the destructive passions to the will so that they may be used with precision rather than risk overflowing and turning against those who experience them. As such, a form of guided meditation may be employed in which the target is inspired to view the raging will for victory that the magic inflames as a weapon to be wielded only against their enemies.

	The [[astronomancy\|astronomantic]] constellation of [[the Mountain]] has a strong association with this ritual, but [[The Drowned Man]] also has resonance - the ultimate aim of the enchantment is to end a conflict in an absolutely decisive fashion after all. Those [[Urizen]] who make use of the [[runes]] may find [[Jotra]] and [[Tykonus]] resonate with its power, but the [[Aesh\|Rune of Thought]] an the [[Zorech\|Rune of Passion]] is also applicable - the one harnesses the other in pursuit of the general's goals.

			Soldiers in the army enchanted by this ritual are granted Summer gifts similar to those provided on a smaller scale by [[Strength of the Bull]] and effects such as [[Swan's Cruel Wing]] or even [[Champions Shining Resolve]] or [[Crimson Ward of Summer Stars]]. The individual benefits vary from warrior to warrior, and some magicians theorise that each soldier unconsciously shapes the form the magic will take based on what they feel they can best make use of.

	~~Soldiers in~~ the ~~army enchanted by this ritual are filled~~ with a passionate fervour, ~~driven by a desire~~ to ~~absolutely crush~~ their ~~enemies~~. These powerful emotions are harnessed to their will however; they are no more likely to fight among themselves than normal, reserving their passion for their enemies. ~~A soldier~~ can ~~switch between calm detachment or pleasant demeanour to murderous intensity in~~ a ~~moment~~, ~~and then return to their normal disposition just as swiftly once a threat is overcome - something which can be quite unsettling~~ to ~~observers who do not know what is going on~~.

These powerful emotions are harnessed to their will however; they are no more likely to fight among themselves than normal, reserving their passion for defeating their enemies, but they often find themselves in touch with deep wells of [[Summer_magic#Wroth\|wrathful fury]] when the situation demands it. Those with the [[changeling]] [[lineage]] in particular can find this experience a little overwhelming, given the touch of magic that already makes them prone to [[Changeling#Sovereign_Fury\|bouts of wroth]].

	''Meditations'' records that the eternal [[Meraud]] offered helpful advice during the formulation of the original ritual, but the magicians of the Lyceum chose not to directly involve any eternal in its creation reasoning that giving an eternal another method to influence the Imperial armies was not ideal. When the ritual was originally codified, General Clarisse de Rhenai of the [[Golden Sun]] and Gundal of the [[Green Shield]] reportedly fought a duel for the right to be the first to be enchanted with it. The Dawnish general was the victor and the first target of the ritual. According to Callus, there was some concern among members of the [[Sevenfold Path]] that the passions inflamed by the enchantment might be seen as inspiring a [[Malign_spiritual_presences\|malign spiritual presence]], and indeed the magician was eventually called to [[inquisition]] over its effects. He was acquitted however and the ritual went on to be used several times during the campaigns of Empress Brennan against the Druj.
