Occultism

Occultism is the Path of Forbidden Knowledge. It focuses on arcane methods considered illicit or immoral. Knowledge gained from supernals or clandestine research can unlock terrible abilities, while sacrificial rituals channel power through the Veil, enhancing their effects. Occultists are widely feared, operating best in secret and shadow, and few feel safe around someone for whom life itself is a coin to be spent.

The Sacrifice: Before casting certain spells (marked on the spell itself), you may choose a friendly unit within 12″ of the caster to immediately suffer from The Devouring Dark. No model or unit can be targeted by more than one instance during the same Magic Phase. If The Sacrifice was performed, the Range of the spell is increased by +6″.
