You target two Enterprises with this ritual, the owners of which must be present for the entire performance of the ritual.
This ritual must target a Business and a Caravan or Military Unit with the Ship specialization. It can only target Enterprises of these types.
The targeted Enterprises form a Trade Association, enhancing their collective earning potential by working together. Each Ship that undertakes a Trade order during Downtime and each Caravan within the Association gains +2 Levels and adds +3 Levels to one Business within the Association. If there are multiple Businesses within the Association, the bonus Levels are spread out between them as evenly as possible.
The effects of this ritual last until the end of the next Round of Downtime or another Enterprise Sorcery is placed on the target(s) (whichever comes first). If this Sorcery’s effects end prematurely on one Enterprise within the Association, it does not end the effects on the other members of the Association, provided that there are still at least one Business and one Caravan or Military Unit within the Association.
You can overcharge this ritual; for every +10 additional Ritual Power you use when you perform the ritual, it can affect +1 additional target and include them in the Trade Association formed by the ritual.
