Default Ritual of Rebirth - no effect?

I've searched the forum and found only some ancient threads telling me that it doesnt work.
Anyway, in a current MP-game (2.14) I thought to give this spell a try, but it didnt have any apparent effect. Is this spell still unfixed or do I simply fail to understand its function?

I have dead Caelian high seraphs in the Hall of Fame, quite a few of them, so I thought I can cast RitualOfRebirth to revive one of them to see how it works. I set a living HighSeraph (once empowered in Death, +Rod,+Skullface, (yes I do have too many DeathGems and no use for them except casting DarkKnowledge)) to cast the spell, but no menu appeared, so I assume that a random hero is choosen. Next turn I get a message that my seraph hast cast the spell, but nothing happened! I'd expected to see a mummy-seraph with my necromancer or within my capital (both provinces are unsieged and totally peaceful), but nothing in either province! My captial is protected by an AirDome, but the province the seraph is in is entirely unproteced, although the mage itself has twiceborn up on himself.

Or could it be that the Necromancer choose the Hero which held the lowest place in the HallOfFame for casting, which may have dropped out that turn, and didnt choose one of the other dead Caelians left over in the Hall of Fame?

Was HoF with ten entries? I remember from somewhere that it works only for ten first guys, being bugged in a sense it won't recoqnize if HoF is set to 15 entries.

I've managed to rebirth heroes at least with 2.06 and 2.12, haven't had a chance to use it of late.

I think that the HoF had ten entries only, but I will check that again when I get home...

That's True... verified myself several weeks ago.

Ritual of Rebirth only works for first 10 heroes... if your hero is placed #12 the spell will not bring him back.

yah, i reported this bug a long while back. clearly RoR was hardcoded to 10, back when the HoF was always only 10 anyways...

So - would RoR work for heroes not on the HoF if HoF is set to less than 10?
