	Many in the Empire sees extra value in this spell; while spells such as [[heal]] or [[purify]] are powerful, their effects can be duplicated by [[Surgical skills#Physick\|physick]]. Swiftly repairing a damaged item, especially a magical item, is possible only through this spell, or more expensive and time-consuming ritual magic such as [[the Anvil of Estavus]].

	There is an obvious limitation on this spell which is that it cannot be used on items that have been physically damaged in the real world. If a letter has been torn up or a bottle has been smashed, no amount of IC magic can restore the destroyed phys-rep.

The majority of the damaged item must be present, but at the completion of the spell the item is repaired seamlessly as if it had never been shattered.

This powerful spell quickly repairs an item that has been damaged by a shattering force. It is especially useful for repairing [[Weapons & Armour#shields\|shields]] that have been rendered useless by a [[shatter]] spell, or a strike from a powerful magical weapon. The majority of the damaged item must be present, but at the completion of the spell the item is repaired seamlessly as if it had never been shattered. Some magicians believe that every piece of a broken item "remembers" having once been part of a greater whole, and that this principle guides the magic they use.

	This spell is equally effective on magical and non-magical items; even an [[Ilium#Creating_Artefacts\|artefact]] can be fully restored. A [[magical items\|magical item]] repaired with the mend spell retains all its special properties (although obviously any restricted abilities that have been expended are still used up).

A [[magical items\|magical item]] repaired with the mend spell retains all its special properties (although obviously any restricted abilities that have been expended are still used up).

	Useful as this spell is, it is difficult to cast in the middle of a fight. The magician needs several moments of completely uninterrupted focus on the target item - which is next to impossible if it is being jerked around during a fight, or if the magician themselves is in danger of being struck. To use mend effectively, the magician usually needs to be behind allied lines - or well protected by their companions while they concentrate on repairing the item. This can be made easier with the use of rituals such as [[Smooth Hands Shape ~~The~~ World]], an [[enchantment]] that can make magically repairing a damaged item nearly instantaneous.
