The Warp reacts to pain and suffering: Most rituals of Chaos involve suffering, because this creates the necessary psychic energy.{{Fn|1c}} For example, the [[Book of Lorgar]] contains a ritual of Chaos for intercepting [[astropath]]ic messages. In this ritual, an [[Astropath]] is mutilated and possessed by a daemon. After several tries, it turned out that suffering is the crucial fuel of this ritual: Servants of Chaos who volunteered for this role to be mutilated and possessed burned out much faster than unwilling victims.{{Fn|32a}}
The Warp reacts to an act of sacrifice: The more the loss of the sacrifice pains the one sacrificing, the better. For example, this can be the loss of a powerful and appreciated servant.{{Fn|33a}}{{EndnFn|34a}}
The Warp reacts to betrayal: Betraying a person who trusted you completely is a very powerful ingredient in a ritual.{{Fn|13b}}
