Occultism

The Sacrifice : When casting a non-Bound Spell from this Path, after rolling Magic Dice but before the opponent rolls any Dispel Attempt, the Active Player may choose to inflict X hits on the Caster’s unit or another friendly unengaged unit within 24". Each unit may only be targeted by this ability once per Magic Phase. X is equal to the number of Ranks in the targeted unit, down to a minimum of 2 and up to a maximum of 5. These hits wound automatically and no save of any kind is allowed against them. The last model in a unit can never be removed as a casualty using this ability (any wound that would reduce its Wound Pool to 0 is discarded). If at least one wound was caused, the spell is cast with the {amplified} version. In that case, use any text marked with { } and ignore any red text.
