Description

This spell allows a magician to support heroic soldiers on the battlefield, helping them to use their martial skills at key moments.

It is often associated with the Dawnish; there are many stories of enchanters using it to direct their fellow nobles. It is also popular with the Urizen both for supporting their sentinels, and for directing a warrior to unleash a specific valuable attack at a pivotal moment in an engagement.

Some magicians view this spell as strengthening or inspiring their target. More cynical or arrogant magicians think of it in terms of using a warrior as a living weapon to achieve their aims on the battlefield.
