Unidentified Sith ritual

During the war between the First Order and the Resistance, the resurrected Sith Lord Darth Sidious attempted to perform a ritual on his granddaughter Rey before the battle on Exegol started. To do so, Sidious intended for Rey to strike him down on his throne to initiate the ritual and transfer his spirit into his granddaughter's body so it would unite them and guarantee the Sith's continued legacy, making Rey into "Empress Palpatine". However, Rey refused to fall to the dark side of the Force and Sidious was ultimately unable to perform the ritual, dying shortly afterwards at the hands of Rey and all the great Jedi of the past.
