Blood Sorcery

Your blood has become a powerful conduit of magic, whether the golden Ichor of the celestials, the burning hellfire of the infernals, or the gleaming magic of the fey flows through your veins, your blood is brimming with latent magic waiting to unleash. Blood sorcerers use the magic within themselves and within creatures around them to preform dark rituals or bright miracles. These sorcerers are looked down upon by most magic wielders for their unsavory practices, however, while some do turn down a dark path, many others are healers and medics. A primary feature of blood sorcerers is their blood curses, inflicting harm upon themselves to curse others in dark rituals.

These sorcerers have three paths. If it is infernal blood flowing through them, the sorcerer can use that hellfire to imbue their attacks with dark magic. If fey blood flows in their veins, their magic takes on the mystic control fey have over mortals. Likewise, if celestial blood has imbued in them, their magic gives a healing glow to revitalize others. All blood sorcerers sacrifice their own health and life to enhance their power, spilling their blood to spill the blood of others.
