	The effect of this ritual is partly inspired by, and patterned after, the [[Heroes' Horn]] musical instrument employed by priests across the Empire.

The enchantment strengthens the target's ability to draw on that consecration, even if they are not a priest. Through their impassioned words, woven with [[Summer magic]], they help their audience connect with the power of the consecrated area, and create a resonance between them and the spiritual power that surrounds them.

The recitation of a tale of a heroic figure by the target of the ritual is also resonant.

	~~While courage~~ is sometimes represented by the rune [[Jotra]], this ritual is much more resonant with the ~~rune~~ of Majesty – [[Feresh]] – which is also called the eagle and is associated with the ~~virtue~~ of [[Pride]]. By enhancing what is present, Summer magic strengthens that quality of the target that inspires others. A practitioner of [[totem magic]] may evoke the eagle, the swan, or the heron as well as the more obvious symbolic animals such as ~~jackdawn~~, bear, or boar. In the time since the ritual was codified into Imperial ~~Lore~~ it has proved popular with martially-minded [[Totem_magic#Theurgy\|theurgists]] who greatly appreciate the way it combines magical prowess with virtuous behaviour. They, obviously, evoke the spirits of [[paragons and exemplars]] known for their Courage such as [[Inga Tarn]] and [[Gilda Ashwine]].
