Occultism

The Sacrifice: When casting a non-Bound Spell from this Path, immediately after the casting roll, but before any Dispelling Attempt, the Active Player may choose the Caster’s unit or another friendly unengaged unit within 24″.
A unit may only be chosen once per phase. The chosen unit suffers X hits that wound automatically with Armour Penetration 10 and Magical Attacks, and with no saves of any kind allowed, where X is determined by the Discipline value of the largest fraction of models in the unit, ignoring all Discipline modifiers. In case of a tie, use the lower value:
• 0 to 4: 3 hits
• 5 to 7: 2 hits
• 8 to 10: 1 hit
Any Health Point loss from The Sacrifice that would remove the last model of the chosen unit as a casualty is discarded.
These Health Points losses never cause Panic Tests.
If at least one Health Point loss was caused, the spell is cast with the {amplified} version. In that case, use any text marked with {}.
