See Challenge # 112. This was originally going to be something invoking the power of the Perfected, first as a temporary avatar token, but then an aura granting a creature a bonus based on creatures in the graveyard. I didn't really like that and thought "hey, Velorn screams they want death triggers." So I came up with a death trigger. I didn't want this to be actually be a Perfected so I made an ability that seemed good but doesn't embody the cleric but more instead what might be part of the ritual.

I really like that flavor text. Nice job.
