so when you first moved from rank 0 to rank 5 with steel meridian, you paid the sacrifices for those ranks - you will never have to do that again.

however since you dropped to rank -2, you will have to pay the sacrifice for moving to rank -1 and then to move to rank 0 - since you have not paid those before. then while moving up through 1-5 you will not have to pay, since you already did that the first time around, and for Perrin, who you leveled from -2 to 5, you will never again have to pay a sacrifice, since you already did all the rank-up sacrifices for them.
