	Some ritualists offer the use of ''Mark of Ownership'' to anyone for whom they perform the [[create bond]] spell, as do some magician-[[Crafting skills#Artisan\|artisans]]. This increases the price of the bond, often dramatically, but is often described as offering extra insurance that the item will be returned to them if stolen.

	Some artisans have the ritual performed on their behalf when they complete a masterwork item of which they are especially proud. It is also common for someone who has gained the use of a powerful item through an Imperial position (such as the staff of an [[archmage]] to have this ritual cast on the object at the start of their tenure. It should go without saying that it is very common to have this ritual performed on an [[Ilium#Creating_Artefacts\|artefact]], and a particularly old item may accrue a number of these marks as it passes from hand to hand.
