Oracle Text

Whenever a creature you control dies, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.

{1}{B}{G}, {T}, Sacrifice a creature: Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. Activate only as a sorcery.

In the gloomy depths of Widdershins Hall sits an iron belly—always hungry, but generous to those who feed it.

Because targets are chosen before costs are paid, the target of Cauldron of Essence's last ability can't be the creature sacrificed to pay its cost.

If one or more creatures you control die at the same time that Cauldron of Essence leaves the battlefield, its first ability triggers once for each of those creatures.
