Your magical power used to originate in yourself, but now you draw it from others.

Prerequisite(s): Mutilating Ritualist†, Knowledge (arcana) 4 ranks, Knowledge (religion) 4 ranks, Spellcraft 4 ranks.

Benefit(s): You can improve your ability to cast an occult ritual by powering it with the blood of creatures. When you begin the occult ritual with the death of a sentient creature (or number of sentient creatures with a total number of Hit Dice equal to twice the effective level of the ritual), you and all secondary casters gain a +4 bonus on all skill checks necessary to complete the occult ritual. This feat’s sacrifices are in addition to any sacrifices normally required to complete the ritual.
