A Curse for True Love, written by Anabelle Jones, explores the concept of love and the unforeseen consequences it can bring. This captivating novel takes readers on a journey filled with romance, mystery, and a touch of magic. The story revolves around the protagonist, Emma, a young woman who has always dreamed of finding true love. However, her desires are complicated by a family curse that has haunted generations before her. According to the curse, any member of her family who falls in love is doomed to suffer heartbreak and tragedy. As Emma embarks on her quest for love, she encounters various challenges and obstacles that test her resilience.
At first glance they look completely compatible as is. It seems to me that the incantations are a bit less forgiving on the number of missed saves but at the same time they seem to be more powerful.
I actually have Deep Magic but I had completely skipped over that chapter because it contained Words of Power and that just didn t interest me at all. There are a pile of them in various Kobold Press products, particularly Deep Magic, although you can also find quite a few in Zombie Sky Press Incantations in Theory and Practice.

Occult Rituals
Other than those found in Occult Adventures are there any other sources of Occult Rituals? I would prefer print books but I may be open to some PDFs as well.

Both of those books are going to have slightly different formats for incantations, but they're close enough, and they'll have different base DCs for different schools of magic (which I personally prefer).
You can also find a pile of them in the 3.5 srd, as they're originally from that edition's Unearthed Arcana.
if you're looking for something in particular, I can probably focus you in on a specific product. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say I've written more incantations than just about anyone else in Pathfinder. (it may not be correct in another year, but for now, I'm pretty sure)
There are some in Distant Shores, Occult Origins, and Horror Adventures for sure.
Necromancers of the Northwest came out with "Rituals of Blood" a few days ago; it's got some interesting blood-themed rituals in it.
Yup, Necromancer's of the Northwest have a few others too, and Paranormal Adventures under the Everyman Gaming label added a bunch (probably my favs of any)! In addition to what others have mentioned, the Spheres of Power core book and its expansions have been adding incantations for use under its magic system that could easily be repurposed as occult rituals. Hope that helps!

Wow! I actually have Deep Magic but I had completely skipped over that chapter because it contained Words of Power and that just didn't interest me at all.
I am aware of Incantations in Theory and Practice but didn't realize it was compatible with Occult Rituals.

I'm not sure I ever even looked at Unearthed Arcana back in the day. I'm sure I don't have it but I believe I have friends I can borrow it from.
