	Firstly, it keeps mine workers strong and healthy, helping them work long hours without becoming exhausted.

	Secondly, it helps the miners to find pockets of valuable materials - gemstones and precious metals especially. A bounty of diamonds or sapphires, a king's ransom of mithril or silver, even a rich seam of coal or iron - all these can be sold at a handsome profit, whether directly to individuals or to representatives of the [[~~Imperial~~ Bourse\|bourse]]. Occasionally some wonder of the deep earth is uncovered; a cavern whose walls glitter with crystals; a black sea of fresh water that has never seen the light of day where blind white fish devour each other and are in turn devoured by larger fish; or a gallery where every movement causes echoing sounds to roll through the depths. Without this ritual, these natural splendours would never be seen by mortal eyes, and some magicians anticipate the discovery of another such delight with bated breath.

	Finally, some workers report hearing odd noises in the depths. Tunnels sometimes appear that have not been carved out by any mortal hand. Sometimes miners report hearing "songs" in the dark - deep bass voices rumbling under the earth, and barely-audible whispering on the edge of hearing. The latter is especially true when they are drawing close to a hidden pocket of valuables, as if the gold itself were singing to them. While some miners find the experience unsettling, others begin to enjoy being under ground so much that they spend more and more time in the lightless depths, sometimes just wandering the tunnels with their lanterns, as if looking for something. Perhaps it is fortunate that the ritual does not last more than a season or so.		Finally, some workers report hearing odd noises in the depths.

	The ritual helps bring prosperity to a mine owner. Ritual performances often include the evocation of the rune [[Feresh]] or [[Tykonus]], or sometimes [[Pallas\|the rune of wealth]]. Hearth magics and symbols associated with good fortune and [[Prosperity]] are also commonly evoked, such as shedding small amounts of blood or offering a cup or bowl of wine or mead to the targets - especially when this involves one or more coins or polished gemstones.
