Chaos scales with your Humanity stat, that's the counter in the top left. Basically, this increases Chaos by a ton, at the risk of losing a valuable resource.

PvE-wise, it's a simple high-risk/high-reward form of the fire path. In PvP, it's very popular because even if you fail an invasion, your humanity is still not lost if you just stay at, or close to, the bonfire between invasions.
