			===Assurance===
			This ritual has a guaranteed [[Ritual_theory#Response\|response]] from an eternal, in this case [[Phaleron]], and has an [[Ritual_theory#Agreement\|assurance]] attached. It was at first believed that there was no assurance connected to this ritual, but a core requirement was unearthed by members of the [[Unfettered Mind]] shortly before the Winter Solstice 386YE. The ritual loses all power and ceases to function if support for Urizen lore ever ends or if the nation of Urizen were to leave the Empire.

	==Description==		==Description==
	This ritual was received as a gift from the [[eternal]] [[Phaleron]], also known as the Celestial Library. It was [[383YE_Winter_Solstice_Conclave_sessions#Imperial_Lore_:_Gift_of_Knowledge\|proposed for inclusion]] in [[Formulaic_ritual#Imperial_Lore_and_the_Ritual_List\|Imperial lore]] during the Winter Solstice 383YE by the [[Archmage of Day]], '''Skywise Gralka''' (following a [[382YE_Winter_Solstice_Conclave_sessions#Imperial_Lore_:_Gift_of_Knowledge\|failed proposal]] a year earlier).

	There is some concern about this ritual's inclusion in Imperial lore. During the Spring Equinox 383YE, in the lead up to a [[Archmage#Parley\|parley]] between Imperial magicians and the magicians of Urizen, Phaleron specifically requested that this ritual [[Who_benefits%3F#Phaleron\|not enter Imperial lore]]. The parley included only magicians from [[Urizen]], and the Archmage of Day, and during the meeting the foundations of what would later become [[Urizen_magical_traditions#Urizen_Lore\|Urizen lore]] were laid, culminating in the [[Something_must_break#The_Grand_Library_of_Canterspire\|enfolding]] of the [[Morrow#Grand_Library_of_Canterspire\|Grand Library of Canterspire]]. The ritual has a particular significance for this unique magical technique, allowing texts to be submitted to the Library that are then available only to Urizen magicians. As of the Winter Solstice 383YE, it remains to be seen how the eternal responds to the ritual entering the main body of Imperial lore.

	While there is no specific [[Ritual_theory#Agreement\|assurance]] associated with the ritual, the Library will presumably choose to withdraw its support if it is used to launch another attack on the eternal - although what form such an attack would need to take to cause harm to a magical building of incomprehensible size is difficult to imagine.

	As with the earlier version of this ritual, the most important element of the magic is the written work to be transferred. It is often wrapped in fine silk or cotton, and usually forms the focus of the ritual; sometimes it is passed from hand to hand before being placed in the container, sometimes it is placed prominently in the centre of the ritual. Invocations of great scholars, [[Paragons and Exemplars\|paragons and exemplars]] of [[Wisdom]], and the rune [[Aesh]] often accompany the ritual, as do [[Sular]] and [[Ophis]].
