	Winter magic also likes to bring things to an [[Winter magic#Ending\|end]]. The obvious powers of destruction the realm wields, such as those that bring down towers or shatter weapons and shields are overshadowed. The power to end things resonates with the exorcism ceremony twice – a ghost or haunting is generally held to arise because of a death which mortals consider to be a profound form of ending. The ceremony itself breaks the ties between ghosts and their anchors, or subjects them to whatever annihilation awaits when their anchors are gone.

It also enhances the priest's facility with traditional methods of facing malign spirits, ghosts, and haunts. Lore regarding death and curses is particularly relevant to the ceremonies of exorcism after all.

Winter magic also likes to bring things to an [[Winter magic#Ending|end]]. The obvious powers of destruction the realm wields, such as those that bring down towers or shatter weapons and shields are overshadowed. The power to end things resonates with the exorcism ceremony twice – a ghost or haunting is generally held to arise because of a death which mortals consider to be a profound form of ending. The ceremony itself breaks the ties between ghosts and their anchors, or subjects them to whatever annihilation awaits when their anchors are gone.

Finally, of course, the resonance of [[Winter magic#Death|death]]. Exorcism deals with the trappings of those who refuse to allow death to claim them. The creatures of Winter see death not as an ending but a transformation from one state to another, especially when it results in a ghost or haunting. Exorcism, perhaps, brings an absolute end to the existence of a being.

==Common Elements==
Given the purpose – and title – of the ritual it is only appropriate that the ritual incorporate the imagery of the Imperial Virtues, especially symbols of [[Wisdom]] and [[Vigilance]]. Some [[magical skills#Magician|magicians]], especially in [[Wintermark]] might use the seven so-called “[[Runes#Runes_and_the_Imperial_Faith|runes of the faith]]”. Obviously the rune [[Yoorn]], which brings endings, is particularly resonant with the ritual – perhaps even in the form of shears, scissors, or knives that even more symbolically represent the purpose of the enchantment.

A spoken oath or solemn undertaking, to use the power granted by the enchantment virtuously, made by the subjects also resonates, drawing on another of the aspects of Winter magic that many of the virtuous find more palatable.
