I'm a little concerned that the Ritual Device doesn't have enough capability to be used in combat.

That is... the roleplay's entire premise is that a combative tournament is substituting for murdering random monstrous invaders. With an ability like that and fighting skill of 'I know some self defence', you go from 'underpowered' to 'I like glorified suicide'.

I can see several ways it would be useful in combat, but none more actually... worth using than just having a really strong headbutt.
