Leonard’s Thaumaturgic Boost — Epic Spell
Leonard’s Thaumaturgic Boost is a third-party epic ritual from the Dicefreaks Grimoire of Cosmic Entities Volume One. It stores a long-lasting reservoir of magical force that can raise the saving throw DC of three later spells.

Effect
For 33 hours after the ritual, the primary caster can apply a +9 increase to the saving throw DC of three spells they cast. Each use consumes one of the three stored boosts.
The ritual requires two assisting spellcasters who each sacrifice a 5th-level spell slot during casting. The original presentation uses infernal imagery and Dark Speech, but those details are source flavour rather than additional mechanical factors.
Edition Status
This is third-party 3.x epic-spell material. Modern D&D has no equivalent epic-development system, and a +9 save-DC increase should not be imported into 5e-style bounded accuracy without a deliberate conversion.
