Blood Maledicts

At 3rd level, you gain the ability to channel and sometimes sacrifice, a part of your vital essence to manipulate creatures through hemocraft magic.

Intelligence is your ability for these curses.
You learn one additional blood curse of your choice, and you can choose one of the blood curses you know and replace it with another blood curse, at 6th and 14th levels.
