There is another ritual we know of which could be described by the above:

Even so, the most terrible ritual known to me demands only a rope which has hanged a man and a sword which has slain a >woman; and that for a ritual which promised to summon Death itself

Of course there are obvious problems with the exact wording; and it is probable that this ritual just summons a dementor.
