Any chance that the cut ritual could be updated to maintain stealth?
Most of our other rituals are messy and require a corpse, so pulling you out of hiding makes sense. If I'm using cut, though, it's because I'm about to attack something (BLB or QE) and if I was hiding in the first place it's because I wanted it to be a surprise.

perform cut
You come out of hiding.
You draw a slight cut across your palm in ritualized fashion, drawing forth a small but useful amount of blood without any real injury.
