The blood mage seeks to become a master over life, believing that blood is the ultimate source of vitality, they seek to discover its mysteries. They arrogantly brush aside other healing philosophies that include following deities or spirits. To them, these methods do not have the same clear cut physical benefits that mastery over blood presents. A side effect of this notion is that the blood mage can use his physical life for a myriad of things, including transmuting it into other forms of energy or, in some cases, using it directly to cast spells.

Blood mages learn their magic by studying the bodies of the living and through messy experimentation, often on themselves. Seen as gruesome acts of self mutilation or useless sadism, the blood mage’s techniques are often frowned upon by the community, but given the sheer power of their magic the aid of a blood mage is never refused.

The blood mage represents the most mystical healing class and as such, his arsenal is made up of pure spell casting, mostly healing type spells and utility spells with a few drains and damage dealing spells, as well as symbiotes created to give a benefit to allies.


Healing and Buffs
Blood mages are able to keep their allies alive through a variety of spells and abilities. They have targeted heals, a group heal and various buffs that will be integral in performing your task as a healer.

Blood Union and Rituals
Blood mages have discovered the true power that lies within blood. Since a blood mage’s own blood source is finite, he reaches out to his enemies and forms a parasitic union between his own blood and theirs. Once he has established this blood union he can siphon power from it and use it to augment his spells. The blood mage can also use this power to cast spells called Rituals. Rituals are spells that consume both mana and the power created by the blood union. Some rituals require a specific level of union and others are simply more powerful if used while a blood union is in place, but all rituals deplete the blood union once used.

Blood Union also affects spells that aren’t rituals, though only rituals require Blood Union in order to cast.

Symbioses
Not only is the blood mage arcane, but he is also studied in the knowledge of his fellows beings. The blood mage can perform experiments on living tissue in order to make symbiotic creatures to live on himself or his allies. When you have a symbiote attached to you, you gain whatever abilities the corresponding symbiote grants. (You can cast these abilities as if they were granted to you by your class trainer, for a period of time)

The process of creating a symbiote is somewhat disturbing. It requires a fresh organ and a vial of your own blood. Once these two things are combined, depending on the organ, you will receive a symbiote.
