	When it was originally codified, ''Bells of Silver and Brass'' was used to inspire soldiers to come to the defence of their neighbours, but the ritual seems to have other, more practical applications. Through subtle Autumn magics it subtly draws volunteers to take up weapons, and improves the process of turning a raw recruit into a seasoned soldier. Equipment is sourced and transported more efficiently, the organisation of new recruits runs more smoothly, and the replenishment of supplies happens with less friction even if the land the fortification stands in are actively under attack. Blacksmiths, fletchers, leatherworkers, and other craftsfolk may find previously overlooked caches of materials for their work. Soldiers who might otherwise have been lost or separated find it easy to regroup, and while injuries [[Autumn_magic#Healing\|do not heal any more swiftly]] than normal, the hospitals and [[Surgical skills#Physick\|physicks]] who tend to wounded soldiers enjoy the same benefits of improved ~~efficicency~~ and access to materials as the crafters and recruiters.

	The bells themselves are audible throughout the territory, but only to those who share a political affiliation with the fortification targeted by the enchantment. Invaders, and even peaceful settlers from other Empires, remain oblivious to the pealing noise that spills out from the bastion every day at noon. The tolling bells inspire a potent but short-lived urge in all who can hear them to defend their homes, to work with their neighbours to resist invaders, and to be alert to all dangers, both within and without.

	Bells, or percussion instruments such as cymbals or chimes, are a common feature of this ritual. Performance often includes a map of the territory where the fortification stands - or of the fortification itself. Images or effigies of the castle may also be involved, especially delicate and precise images that exemplify the technical approach favoured by ~~Urizn~~ artists. The ritual has a strong [[astronomancy\|astronomantic]] feel, and the original text references invoking the binding power of [[the Chain]] and [[the Phoenix]] as an icon of learning and experience. Calculating the location and influence of these stars over the location where the fortification stands might play a key role in the ritual. It is also resonant, given the use of [[Autumn_magic#Bands\|bonds of neighbourhood]] and [[Autumn_magic#Binding\|bringing people together]], to include citizens who live in the territory where the fortification stands as part of the focus of the magic.
