To Increase Patience is a ritual written in Warren Book of Shadows. It is consists of an incantation and a potion that needs to be prepared, and is meant to increase patience in a person.
History
While looking at the page in the Book of Shadows, Piper Halliwell joked that her grandmother, Penny, probably wrote the spell. Phoebe then added that she must have used it a lot while she was raising them. However, Prue remarked that not all of them were troublemakers. ("The Witch is Back")
