Description: You have unlocked the capability to destroy members of a particular species who you have a physical remnant from (hair, blood, etc.) to be used as part of the spell. All members of that species within a 1 mile radius are immediately slain, no attack or check needed. Those slain must be a quarter of the level of the main caster or lower.
Casting Genocide is incredibly taxing, and requires multiple individuals to perform without the caster sustaining life threatening injuries. When cast, one damage (bypassing Soak) is dealt per individual slain through the use of Genocide to the main caster. For each additional caster taking part in the ritual, the damage is split among them instead (to a minimum of 1 damage being taken).
For example, a caster using Genocide on his own to slay 200 individuals within a 1 mile radius would take 200 damage bypassing Soak and (most likely) immediately die. Adding an additional caster to the ritual instead splits it in half (100 to one, 100 to the other), adding another splits it among the three (66 to each), four splits it in fourths (50 to each), and so on and so forth.
