It's not absolutely clear how the sacrifices required for Wild Magic are offered.

It may be something like XP, where you just kill a bunch of people and then you can use the magic. It may be more like summoning the Dark Young, where a specific magical ritual is used to offer the sacrifices. It seems that the sacrifices may need to "belong" to the wielder of Wild Magic in some sense...Draudillion doesn't suggest the obvious possiblity of offering the lives of Beastmen to fuel her Wild Magic (this is one of the reasons it seems likely that humans would have been kept as slaves by dragons, in addition to serving as a labor force/snacks).

Or it could be a mix, like needing to use a magic ritual for the sacrifices but being able to keep their souls stored for a while and use them later (PDL's ultimate attack would be pretty nerfed if he needed to bring the live sacrifices with him, though that could still be the case).
