Ritual of the Blessed

"To use the ritual of the blessed is to challenge the gods themself. No man should be able to attain such power from the ritual of the living" -Jeshya Galil, regarding the ritual.

Background
Ritual of the Blessed, formerly called Vox Deus in Ancient is one of the strongest and most ancient rituals to ever exist. First created during AOD it allows the user to attain godhood, at a heavy cost. The first known record of the ritual was during AOD when the Cult of Scorpiel led by Salaz Dunar tried to attain godhood and fulfill his patron deity Scorpiel's goal, the destruction of Terrum and the World Tree. Its theorised that there exists only seven copies of the ritual, and only one have ever been located.

History
Ritual of the Blessed is one of the most powerful rituals known to exist, due to its capability to make the caster attain godhood. The first known documented use of the ritual was during AOD when the Cult of Scorpiel tried to attain godhood by sacrificing the city of Alhambra to Vitrar to gain godhood, thus becoming a lesser god. The ritual was interrupted by THO and a large battle in the ritual room erupted, resulting in the death of Salaz Dunar, the destruction of the ritual and the near annihiliation of the cult. During Jeshya Galils exile he researched information regarding the ritual and found that at least seven spellbooks containing the ritual were known to exist, and only one has ever been located. The one located is scribed in Achatosh, the spellbook used by Alune Spellweaver.

Nature
The Ritual is mostly unknown due to its secrecy and the hidden copies where the ritual is scribed. It is however known that the ritual requires alot of time and resources to complete. One of the most common theories regarding the ritual is that it requires blood sacrifice on a massive scale, this theory is backed by historic documents regarding the Curse of Alhambra.

If the ritual is completed the caster is blessed by the magical power of ancients and attains godhood, becoming a lesser god of the casters choosing.
