So, to first begin, I'm playing CotH again until either A. I manage to wrestle enough money for Skyrim or B. SW:TOR beta code appears in my e-mail.
Until then, I am getting all my CotH stuff blowing and going before I land myself a job. Therefore, this is a concept I've been allowed to do in Prolouge(The reason I been away for such a long time!) and I'm curious to see if it'll be allowed here.
"The general premise of Blood Magic is that you have a crystal or somesuch, likely magically attuned to store energies, which you can then tap from by holding, channeling, or simply being near it.
In order to get that energy, you first need to drain it from a living organism first. It doesn't matter what you drain, but the larger and more complex it is, the more blood and energy you'll be able to get from it. Needless to say, consider the channeling effect to harness this energy from a living organism a subsection of the school of necromancy, in that you're manipulating life and death energies to remove it, so it's dark dark, and corrupting stuff. Removing even a little bit is going to leave the target in a pretty bad shape. Removing all of it will cause pretty much cause a terrible death.
Once you've harnessed the life and blood energies, you'll then channel that collected power back into the crystal, which acts as a storage vessel and can then be tapped into." ~ Prolouge Storyteller
So, in theory, one must properly forge a gem/crystal that is built for draining the life force(Or blood), use the gem/crystal to empower itself, and only then will the user be able to apply its energies to whatever spell he or she wishes to conjure, or empower with the blood crystal.
Anyhow, the concept is lovely, something I'd like to try(given I write the profile for a character to use it). It would be in no way superior to any other school of arcane, the draining would act just like Drain Life from a Warlock, and the spells will simply have the blood-flair to them. Totally not an excuse for me to have my character cut his wrist. >_>
Anyhow, here are some of the links I've been given/stumbled across for some lore and background on these sort of spells/blood crystals.
