Description
This ritual is named for the exemplar of Courage Inga Tarn, whose miraculous strength and unquenchable spirit serve as an inspiration throughout the Empire. It allows an individual to shatter the shields and weapons of their opponents, leaving them vulnerable or impotent. It is most effective when used on someone who already possesses a reserve of inner strength, but might be useful to the wearer of a suit of Runeplate and it clearly valuable to the wielder of a Trollslayer's Crescent. If the chosen target has access to a stock of Philtres of War, they can get even more use out of the power this enchantment grants.
Other versions of this ritual exist; The Ruinous Blade is a similar ritual that is often used with greatswords or two-handed axes, while The Trollcrusher's Mattock is an old name for the ritual attributed to the Steinr runesmiths or Hahnmark.
Common Elements

Sometimes riven shields are used as a component, and the target may be encouraged to undertake a symbolic act of destruction as part of the performance such as breaking a board with fist or foot.
Verys, the run of might is commonly used with this ritual, either drawn on the arms of the target or on their two-handed weapon.
