Order of the Crimson Archanist

Blood Hunters who join this Order make a deal with a Blood Witch to learn their self destructive but powerful magic.  They train with this witch to master the art of Blood Magic and utilize it to their advantage.  

Rite Magic

When you take this Order at 3rd level, you gain the ability to create spell affects by using your rite. You may forgo applying a Crimson Rite to your weapon to cast a spell from your chosen rite's spell list.  The damage you take from your hemocraft die is converted to blood points which are used to cast these spells.  When your number of blood points reaches zero you must take another bonus action to reinvoke your rite to get more.  You learn these spells as well as some additional Blood Witch spells you can learn regardless of your rite and as you level you get more powerful spells and more spells in general.  INT is the spellcasting modifier for these spells.  You can learn 1st Level and Cantrips when you take this order.  You can learn 2nd level spells at 7th Level.  You can learn 3rd level spells at 13th Level and you can learn 4th Level Spells at 19th Level.  You may change out your spells when you level up.  Rite Spells, blood point costs, and the Crimson Archanist spellcasting table is all below.
