Blood

Incantations centered around manipulation and control.

Those casting Blood magic spells often emit a negative glow, as if illuminating the absence of light. Some believe they absorb the fundamental energy of the universe as they cast their spells.

Coercion, confusion, induce rage, induce organ failure, cease thought.

After casting Blood magic, the spellcaster is substantially weakened for some period of time, making it hard to hide their actions without removing themselves from society. In extreme cases, their blood darkens to near-black and their veins are clearly visible through the skin.

Blood magic varies in power, as most incantations are relatively minor while requiring substantial preparation. Most incantations would be considered below Arcane magic, but extreme cases of Blood magic, such as in the battle of Varth and Droth, could be considered comparably powerful to even Cosmic magic.

Blood magic is almost unquestionably considered to be a negative force in the universe.

Users of Blood magic are often not known, as they almost exclusively cast incantations in private or among other practitioners.

Blood magic cannot cast restorative or protective spells without some form of negative side effect on the recipient. For instance, a resurrection spell may bring the recipient back to life, but stuck in a perpetual state of wrathful vengeance.

Blood magic is not formally taught in society, so it must be passed from practitioner to practitioner.
