Blood Mage

A Blood Mage explores the cosmic forces of life and death. As you focus your studies in this tradition, you learn to manipulate the energy that animates all living things. As you progress, you learn to sap the life force from your self to power your spells, transforming that vital energy into magical power you can manipulate.

Most people see Blood Mages as menacing, or even villainous, due to the close association with demons and devils. Not all Blood Mages are evil, but the forces they manipulate are considered taboo by many societies.

Blood mages will most of the time have scars all over there body from self inflected wounds.

This feature can not replace a material component if it costs more then 10GP.
