Magic : Blood
Bound in skin and written in blood, this accursed tome reeks of rot. Its dark steel lining is razorsharp and slices into your skin whenever you hold it. Yet the pain causes a strange shiver of pleasure to creep up your spine. The cover is so gorgeous when steeped in fresh red.
A reviled adept of Blood magic is called a hemomancer, but more often than not they are called a heretic.
Like other Communion Grimoires, this one only reveals its secrets to the most dedicated practitioners. Only Haruspex and Martyr are privy to its horrors. It is also the Grimoire with the least amount of basic spells available to the uninitiated, making it quite the odd pick.
Blood magic deals Curse damage and may inflict the Bleed debuff.
BASIC SPELLS
Bleed
Debuff. Cause your target to Bleed for 1D4 dmg every turn for 5 turns.
Marrowblight
Debuff. Your target will deal -5 physical dmg for the next 5 turns.
Vampiric Touch
Buff. For the next 5 turns, heal for 30% of the physical dmg you deal.
