This Greater Mystery can involve any number of casting philosophers over the initial required two. All participants in the ritual (who must be of the same Nation and Vision) may enter the next arena battle their respectve warbands are due to fight in and gain the skill WEAR ARMOUR/USE SHIELD for the purposes of that arena battle only. This mystery only functions if the armour worn is culturally appropriate. ENHANCEMENT: This Greater Mystery can be used to extend this benefit to philosophers who are of the same Vision but NOT of the same Nation for an additional cost of 1 earth quintessence per philosopher so benefitting.
