====== Blood Magic ======

**Blood Magic** is the [[magic]] school of **[[Blood|Blood Mages]]**, of course. While having all of a path's spells in a single school of [[Research]] can be convenient, research into this school is at the expense of your capabilities in other paths, opportunity-cost-wise.

Blood Magic that uses [[Gems|Blood Slaves]] **cannot be used [[underwater]]**. It just cannot. Even if your Blood Slaves were somehow [[amphibious]], the fluid dynamics between their blood and the ocean would prevent a sacrifice from being directed to its intended purpose. The Blood spells that **don't** cost Blood Slaves **do** work underwater.

{{:abilities:inanimate.png?nolink}} On another note, most offensive Blood spells don't work on the [[Inanimate]].
