Bloodless Bloodline

Your innate magical abilities stem from the very blood coursing through your veins. Perhaps you were the end result of an ancient ritual from a cult, hailed as their prophet. Or maybe your blood was altered by a mage of high power to enable your powerful spells. Whatever the case, you use your very essence to fuel your magic in ways other casters cannot. 

Level 3: Fueled by Blood

At 3rd level, You draw from your own life force to empower your spells. As a bonus action, roll an amount of D6 less than or equal to your Sorcerer level. You deal necrotic damage to yourself equal to the result. This damage cannot be resisted or ignored. You regain a number of Sorcery Points equal to half the number of dice rolled, rounded down.  At 6th level, the damage die becomes D8, at 12th level, it is D10 and at 18th level, it is D12. 

You may use this ability a number of times per day equal to your proficiency bonus.
