Blood Sorcery

Sorcerers of the Blood Sorcery origin are born with a connection to the fundamental essence of life itself. Their magic flows not from draconic lineage or wild surges, but from the very vitality that courses through all living things. Some might be descendants of ancient blood mages, others touched by dark rituals, or perhaps their innate power simply manifests as a raw, visceral connection to life and death. They are capable of both sustaining allies and draining foes, blurring the lines between healing and harm with their crimson-tinged magic.
