I think it is not possible to do that kind of effect at the moment (unless @Stratego (dev) knows a way to do that).

We can, though, make spells that use sacrifice (even the caster's health can be used as such).

We are also planning to give arcane casters the ability to charge over time to increase their spells' power.

[eafkcv]

Will the sacrifice still be consumed if the spell fails? (If the spell has a chance of not succeeding)

[Midonik]

It won't (see: pain by sacrifice of whatever that was called)

[Alexander82]

I confirm that spells consume sacrifices only when they work.

Too random, too costly, too unreliable.
Will not be used in normal games. It is not a gambling.

Rejected.
