	According to scholars of Day, this ritual works by capturing the resonance of every time in the past that the [[Groups#Covens\|coven]] did not perform a ritual, and every point in the future where they will not perform a ritual, and using the echoes of those moments to allow the coven to perform additional rituals ''now''. Ritualists who are part of the coven often experience ~~stange~~ moments of ''deja vu'', or have fleeting memories of rituals they know they did not perform but might have performed. When actually performing a ritual, these sensations become stronger - occasionally a ritualist may briefly hallucinate that they are performing a ''different'' ritual, in a different place, at a different time. These ~~impessions~~ are rarely overpowering, but can be unsettling the first few times they occur.

	This ritual is often performed under the open sky, with as little secret as possible. Some covens choose to use a public spot, or the Anvil [[regio]], specifically to reduce the secrecy of what they are doing. The magicians often use things associated with past rituals, and it is very common for the coven to bring all of their ritual talismans along even if they are not going to use them, to encourage the connection between past, present and future rituals.

===Effects===

This ritual grants the [[Groups#Covens|coven]] that performs it the ability to perform an additional ritual each day.

The ritual counts as an [[enchantment]] on the coven (or the coven bond itself) rather than the individual ritualists.

The runes [[Ophis]] and [[Sular]] and [[Aesh]] are commonly invoked, as is the [[Hirmok|rune of dominion]] or the subtle rune [[Queros]] which synergises well with the subtle energies used in this magic. The constellations of [[The Key]] and [[The Lock]] are regularly used, and many covens evoke the image of [[The Door]] or [[The Three Sisters]] as well. It is not uncommon for the ritual to evoke the power of [[Legendary beasts#Sphinx|sphinxes]] who are viewed in some quarters as possessing powers to see the past or future, or to use symbols of [[Vigilance]], [[Wisdom]] or [[Ambition]].
