A ritual designed to continuously spill boiling rain over a desired location,
Set the target location using a keystone (any object of personal, historical or spiritual significance).
Once a location is set array either the material components or assistance in sequence of prime numbers:
- In the case of material components, the keystone is central to the array, with both gallons of boiling water are positioned in a trifecta, around which the 5 sacrifices are positioned in a pentagon.
- In the case of assistance the Ritual forgoes both gallons of water for 2 1st level spell slots given freely from 2 spellcasters arrayed in a trifecta, no sacrifices are needed in this case.
Once the preparation are complete and the Ritual is cast a raging storm starts on the target location, the storm affects a radius of 25ft and all creatures not in complete cover must make CON save against the spell save DC of the caster, on a failed save targets take 2d4 fire damage and half as much of a successful save, this continue every turn so long as targets are not within total cover.
The spell persists until it is either dismissed or the Ritual itself is destroyed
Upcasting the ritual increases the size and damage to 3d4 at 2nd level, 5d4 at 3rd level, 7d4 at 4th level, 11d4 at 5th level, 13d4 at 6th level, 17d4 at 7th level, 19d4 at 8th level, 23d4 at 9th level, increasing the radius by 25ft for each additional level Material component also increase with each additional level operating in prime numbers excluding the Keystone.
* - ((The lifeblood of 5 humanoid class creatures, 2 gallons of boiling water and a keystone of the location) or (a first level spell slot of 2 additional individuals))

Posted Sep 16, 2025Creator here, so I have been listening to a lot of Ritualist by Dakota Krout and wanted to make a ritual that kinda worked similar to how his does.
I’m still rather new to spell and item making but have tried in the past, DDB however is not an easy tool to use, especially on iOS, but hey I had an idea and felt the desire to share, any feedback is very welcome.
I will note it is powerful in a traditional sense and it is designed that way, if you go with the assistance route when casting you are technical using 3 1st level spell slots to cast it. Any instance of a number used in the spell is designed to go up in prime numbers each level above 1st.
i.e 5 sacrifices turn into 7,11,13,17 so and so, same with the boiling water and assistance, who must use the corresponding spell slot used in the casting.
for example, Davis wants to cast the ritual at 5th level, if he’s using material components he needs 17 sacrafices and 11 gallons of boiling water or 13 assistance including himself all using a 5th level slot, this results in a storm 125ft in radius dealing 11d4 damage every turn on a failed save and half that on a success until targets are under complete cover
