Sacrifice!

Sacrifices were typically categorized into two types:

- 'Random sacrifices' were akin to casting a fishing net into the vast multidimensional planes, hoping to catch the attention of a powerful being or race. It was unpredictable and risky, with a high chance of failure, but some wizards found this thrilling.

- 'Specific sacrifices' were directed toward a known being. These rituals, if performed correctly, rarely failed. However, they were more demanding, requiring offerings that perfectly suited the target's desires. A mismatched or unsatisfactory offering could result in… dire consequences.

Leonard shared his understanding of sacrifices with Merlin.

The wizard let out a soft, almost amused chuckle. "A very standard textbook explanation," he said, his voice carrying an unsettling, feminine quality. "You're well-read for someone so young."
