Unknown to many of those of the Order of the Blood Hunter now, the old ways were far different than they imagined. Years have honed and sharpened the use of Hemocraft, but in Ancient times, the magic of Blood needed something to amplify it in order to remain a proper source of power. This was achieved through the creation of Crystals, containing a fiber of the very life force of other realms. However, as dead as those ways are, some of those Crystals still Exist. And some Creeds may still know the mental training to create a new Hybrid Bloodhunter. Mixing the Ways of the Old and the New, to create powerful warriors. However, even if those participating don’t realize, magic like what's inside of the Crystal is a living, breathing thing. And the mental training they went through was to combat this very thing.

Enhanced Rite

When you choose this Order at 3rd level, you have been implanted with a crystal containing magic from a realm outside of your own. If you did not possess the rite type that matches your crystal's magic beforehand, you now have that rite.

This Crystal enhances your Hemocraft magic, allowing the effects of parts of your magic to be amplified. As a bonus action, if you take damage from 1 roll of your Hemocraft die, while you have an active Crimson Rite that matches your crystal’s magic, you may deal an additional 2 Hemocraft dice as that crystal's type of damage of that type for 1 attack.

Within your head now lives a sentient being. This sentient being is tethered inside the crystal, and it speaks to you and others telepathically It may try to speak and influence you, but the extent of which is up to your DM and you to Discuss. Going from a voice trying to get you to do what it wants, to a second personality type that might be able to force you to do something. This is up to you and your DM to discuss.

On your next turn, as bonus action, you may make a magical attack similar to a cantrip based on your crystal. If this feature requires an attack roll, make a ranged spell attack. If this feature requires a saving throw, your spellcasting ability is Intelligence. This magical attack replaces the cantrip's damage with 1 roll of your Hemocraft die + your Intelligence modifier.
