	As with rituals such as [[Rivers of Gold]], this ritual is very subtle. The enchantment is very difficult to spot without magical means, unless one knows it has been cast. Regardless of the influence, the enchantment does not make the targets embrace the words of their spiritual leader without question; it helps the priests involved with the congregation to understand the people who come to them for advice, or to hear them speak about their faith, but it does not make people more credulous.
