  Old: Sacrifice your demon to gain one of its abilities, and to increase the damage done by your [Drain Soul], [Haunt], [Drain Life], [Chaos Bolt], and [Shadowburn] by 25%. Does not apply to spells affected by [Fire and Brimstone]. Also causes you to regenerate 2% of maximum health every 8 sec. Lasts 60 min or until you summon a demon.

• Patch 6.0.2 (2014-10-14): No longer available to Demonology warlocks. A new talent, [Grimoire of Synergy] is available in its place.
  
• Hotfix (2013-10-03): Grimoire of Sacrifice should no longer incorrectly reduce spell damage while Fire and Brimstone is also active.

• Patch 5.1.0 (2012-11-27): The additional damage Grimoire of Sacrifice grants to Chaos Bolt is now dealt over 3 seconds. This damage over time behaves in a manner similar to a Mage's Ignite, where each new damage over time effect rolls into the previous one. This means that no damage is lost if a new damage over time component is re-applied before an existing one fades.
  
• Patch 5.0.4 (2012-08-28): Added.
