I've googled and searched D&D Beyond and can't seem to find an answer.
The description says the ritual takes an hour to perform, but nothing about how long it lasts. Is it indefinite? Does it last an hour like how long the ritual takes? And if that's the case, can you perform the ritual over a longer amount of time to make it last longer?
If a duration is not listed, then the duration is either instantaneous or infinite (sometimes limited by being dispelled or ended through a method listed in it). Since this feature is not instantaneous, it has things you do with it after the ritual, then it's infinite.
it is permanently bonded to you, you can bond to two weapons, until you try to bond to a third when you have to pick one of the two to break the bond with.
if i am wrong about that sorry, but it is how i read the entry in the PHB so i count it as RAW
The reason you couldn't find a duration is because there isn't one. It lasts until broken.
If I had to compare it to a spell, I would say it is transmutation magic with a duration of until dispelled. Most of that is not RAW, the only thing we know for sure is that it is magical (the effect says so).
Alright great, I've been wasting this ability because I thought it only lasted an hour and never really had a chance to do the ritual before battle with that mindset. Thanks for the info everyone!

Your dm didn't know this? This is one of the best parts of the EK I recommend bonding to your weapon and someone else in your parties as well. So in situations where you get your weapons taken from you, you can just pull them back and be good to go.

lasts forever until you apply it to more than 2 weapons
