Ritual
Buff
Gain Strength at the end of your turn.
Ritual adds Strength equal to its stack at the end of the owner's turn, every turn, and never decays. Damp Cultist gives itself 5 (6 on Ascension 9) with each Incantation, Calcified Cultist gives itself 2, and Devoted Sculptor casts 9 with its Forbidden Incantation. Players get it from Mazaleth's Gift, which grants 1 stack and so 1 Strength at the end of every one of your turns.

How the gain compounds
When an enemy casts Ritual on itself, that turn's end-of-turn gain is skipped, so the first Strength arrives at the end of its following turn; the potion on a player has no such delay.
Repeated Incantations add stacks and the growth compounds, so a cultist left alive for several turns becomes the biggest threat in the room.
Kill it before its Strength outpaces your Block.
Extra stacks raise the per-turn gain.
