			This ritual creates a powerful [[enchantment\|enchanted]] aura on the target. Those who have experienced the enchantment often describe it as similar to being under the influence of certain powerful narcotics (or how they imagine such experiences might be). For the most part, the aura encourages joyful, positive behaviour - but it is just as likely to send an incautious person into a spiral of sadness and despair, or drive someone with repressed anger into a violent outburst.

Some individuals particularly relish the way the enchantment encourages them to question convention, or encourage them to indulge in their pleasures without worrying about the consequences until the next day. Ironically, it is this very element that makes the ritual contentious. Some priests of the Way, for example, consider this enchantment little more than an attempt to channel the dangerous spiritual force of [[Malign_spiritual_presences#Anarchy\|Anarchy]]. Less devout individuals, especially magistrates and militia, may treat people experiencing the aura as if they are extremely drunk, or heavily drugged.
