Description
This ritual is primarily used for forcing open night pouches. It is quite effective at overcoming the magic of an incantation, but finds it harder to force open the more durable pouches created by Secrets for the Shadow Courier. The ritual will also destroy the effects of more powerful rituals that create concealing or obfuscating enchantments, but the ritual must be performed with overpowering strength - the magnitude must be double that of the target ritual, or the Piercing Light of Revelation fails.
In most cases, the Piercing Light of Revelation is used for destroying night pouches; it is rarely as effective to remove a concealing enchantment as it is to simply force one's way past it using a divination. Exceptions exist - rituals that create durable concealments are generally only pierced by divination for a short time, and there are some such as Vale of Shadows that need to be removed before the target resource can be conquered.
Common Elements
