 Banquet for the dead is an Ashdod ritual spell, Death + Holy, requiring death gems.  It:
A) Summons a Malik commander
B) Summons a cohort of Ditani for him (4)
C) Kills the caster.
(No idea what order those happen in the spell code.)
NB: You can greatly soften the blow of the last effect by casting Twiceborn (before) or Ritual of Rebirth (after.)
OT: I've always thought thought that the blood spell "Life for a Life" should be a suicide spell for the caster...
