	The ritual fills a fighting force with both cruelty and bloodlust. Ritual performances often include the evocation of [[Naeve\|the rune of hunger]] or the constellation of [[The Claw]]. Blood is often shed during this ritual, often mixed with a cup or bowl of water or spirits and drunk by the targets. Sometimes the ritual involves the targets cutting themselves with a blade and swearing oaths to kill any who would stand in their way. There are often invocations of wolves or other predatory animals, especially [[Mundane beasts#Dire Beasts\|dire beasts]] and occasionally [[Legendary beasts#~~Manticore~~\|manticores]] during the performance of ''Unleash the Beasts Within''.

	The warriors who are part of a warband [[enchantment\|enchanted]] with this ritual find it easy to inflict pain, and experience heightened aggression. The more bloodthirsty they are, the more the magic drawn from Agramant encourages them and strengthens them. It encourages the members of the warband to deal with problems directly, with violence, and their willingness to fight without any restraint - to "get stuck in" - will take many opponents by surprise. The effect of the magic is very clearly turned outwards; those affected will rarely mourn a comrade who dies fighting, but they will not turn on each other. They are united in their desire to kill, to take what they deserve, and to fulfil their destiny at the expense of their enemies.

	At the same time, however, they have a strong sense of the need to conceal the magic's effects. They know that others may be soft-hearted or weak and make it difficult for them to achieve their goals. Thus, they hide the full effect of the enchantment around those who might judge them for their cruel behaviour, making it easier for them to work alongside the disciplined soldiers of an [[Imperial army]]. [[Winter magic]] has little [[Winter magic#Resonance\|affinity]] for supporting warriors to campaign against their enemies, preferring more direct solutions, but the subtle influence of Agramant that suffuses this ritual just about makes it work. Even with the eternal's wicked assistance, however, this is by no means a simple enchantment to create.

The attendants of the [[Phaleron\|Great Library]] were deeply uncomfortable with the rituals in that book and their presence among Urizen lore, more due to their illegal nature than any sentimental concerns about their origin.
