== Method ==
To perform this ritual, you require a captive of the enemy nation, equipped in their standard equipment, and you must have a willing champion of your own nation, equipped in your standard equipment. 
# The champion and the captive are taken to a place they cannot escape from.
# They are told to fight to the death.
# The victory and defeat of this fight are used as a "test case" for the war as a whole.
