	Along with [[Blood-dimmed Tide]] and [[Shark's Rampage]], this ritual [[The_tune_without_the_words#Quivering_and_Chill\|became part]] of [[Urizen lore]] after the Autumn Equinox 387YE. The original ritual was part of a water-damaged ship's logbook, filled with cryptic poems in praise of the unceasing sea, the power of the storm, and the admirably simple life of the shark. Interspersed between the poems were crude drawings of sea monsters, and what seemed to be actual prayers in praise of the ''Mother of the Maelstrom'' asking for her to send her children to torment the unknown author's enemies, or begging her to fill them and their crew with the power of the tempest. These sections become increasingly difficult to read, and the last few pages are almost entirely obscured by old blood splatter. Scrawled across the cover - carved into the thick leather with a knife - was the message “at the mother’s command, a gift for Ibiss ~~Briarheart”~~.

	The ritual is an enchantment that draws on similar power to that used through ''[[Call Down Lightning's Wrath]]''. It channels the irresistible power of the storm and the tempest, the fury of nature itself, but channelled through the bloodthirsty power of [[Siakha]]. In some ways it mirrors the abilities of some of her better-known servants, the [[Inhabitants of the realms#Heralds\|heralds]] referred to as ''tempests'' who can hurl their foes away with gale-force winds. It comes with an innate danger in the relatively subtle urge the magician feels to wield this power to assert their dominance over others. Making those who wield the destructive power of Spring magic even more volatile and unpredictable rarely ends well.

	The original text detailed only one method of performance - invoking the "goddess" of the Maelstrom and asking her to fill the targets with her devastating power.

The blood of the magicians was collected in a bowl and used to draw a crude spiral on their foreheads, and on their staves.

They note however that while these elements might prove useful in raising and corralling the magic invoked, it is impossible to perform the rite without calling openly on Siakha and quite apart from the other reasons to be cautious of this magic, that also makes its performance problematic.
