	Where [[Embrace the Living Flame]] spurs the passion at the heart of a hero, ''Still Waters, Running Deep'' encourages them to look at the world around them and see how it might be changed for the better. All the stories of ~~heroic men and women~~ contain a seed of change, claim the [[Kallavesi]] [[Wintermark magical traditions#Mystics\|mystics]] who first made extensive use of this ritual. Even the best villains seek to enact change; the difference between a good person and a bad person is the nature of the change they wish to enact, As with crafted items such as the [[Ironbrand Thorn]] or a [[Runemark Shirt]] it is most effective when it is used to [[enchantment\|enchant]] someone who either already possesses a reserve of passion and heroic drive, or who is armed with a [[Labyrinth's Gate]] or similar item that can be 'powered' by the ritual.

	Some ritualists view the ability to [[Heroic skills#Cleaving strikes\|inflict savage wounds]] or [[Heroic skills#Get it together\|restore fighting spirit]] to be a secondary importance next to the effect the ritual has on the spirit of a target. When they focus on making the world ''better'' in some way, a person becomes more like a legendary hero, more likely to achieve timeless deeds that will inspire those who see them or hear about them - potentially for many generations. Some students of Night lore see this relatively simple ritual as a way to create a more profound change. In [[Urizen]] especially, the ability for one person to inspire others to action is very powerful. Even without other uses, the ability to steel the will and resist outside influences is sometimes useful in its own right; anyone can benefit from the ability to overcome malign spiritual forces, even if it is only for a short time.
