Daemonic Ritual
Instead of moving in their Movement phase, any CHAOS CHARACTER can, at the end of their Movement phase, attempt to summon a DAEMON unit with this ability by performing a Daemonic Ritual (the character cannot do so if they arrived as reinforcements this turn, or if they themselves have been summoned to the battlefield this turn). 

If they do so, first choose one of the four Chaos Gods - KHORNE, TZEENTCH, NURGLE, or SLAANESH. A CHARACTER who owes allegiance to one of the Dark Gods can attempt to summon the units of their patron - for example, a KHORNE CHARACTER could only attempt to summon KHORNE DAEMONS. 

Roll up to 3 dice - this is your summoning roll. You can summon one new unit with the Daemonic Ritual ability to the battlefield that has a Power Rating equal to or less than the total result so long as it has the same Chaos God keyword you chose at the start (in the case of units that have the choice of allegiance, such as Furies, the unit when summoned will have this keyword.) This unit is treated as reinforcements for your army and can be placed anywhere on the battlefield that is entirely within 12" of the character and more than 9" from any enemy model. If the total rolled is insufficient to summon any unit, the ritual fails and no new unit is summoned.

If your summoning roll included any doubles, your character then suffers a mortal wound. If it contained any triples, it instead suffers D3 mortal wounds.

Abilities
P'tarix's Sorcerous Syphon:

Enemy PSYKERS within 12" of this model subtract 1 from their Psychic tests. If an enemy PSYKER within 12" fails a Psychic test, their psychic power is syphoned and they cannot attempt to manifest it again in this battle.

Xirat'p's Sorcerous Barrage:

Though not a PSYKER, the Blue Scribes automatically manifest one randomly selected psychic power from the Tzeentch discipline in your Psychic phase. In addition, if the Blue Scribes syphoned any psychic powers in the last enemy Psychic phase they will also automatically manifest the Smite psychic power. No Psychic test is taken to use any of these powers, and they cannot be denied. Where the result of the Psychic test matters, the psychic power is treated as having been manifested with the minimum roll possible and without rolling a double.

Ephemeral Form:

Add 1 to any invulnerable saving throws made for this unit.

Daemonic:

Units with this ability have a 5+ invulnerable save.

Daemonspark:

Re-roll wound rolls of 1 in the Shooting phase for friendly TZEENTCH DAEMON units that are within 9" of your Warlord.
