#hemomancy

Work in progress here.

Showing the true horrors of mixing spellcasting and lycanthropy. Hemomancy and blood magic is by far my favorite fantasy genre but I feel like most of the Bloodhunter art I’ve seen is way too clean. Blood magic to me should be gross with horrible unknowable side effects.

There’s a lot more hemomancy Bloodhunter exploration in my sketchbook, so stay tuned.

Disappointing fact, a human hemomancer using their own blood would only be able to use like, 2.4 liters without falling unconscious

Which is about one and a fourth of those big soda bottles

Humans have about five liters of blood, and if you lose about fifty percent of your blood you fall unconscious

So only about 2.4 liters are usable for hemomancy

That's assuming the bare minimum of not falling unconscious

Realisticly you can only use 15-30 percent of your blood

So that's about half a gallon of blood that's usable while the person is still mostly functional (edited)

However they'll feel weak

You can only use like, half of a liter while being completely unaffected

So all in all hemomancy is not super practical unless you find other sources of blood

THE ANGST SPELLS ARE BACK

So there have been some published content around the concept of Blood Magic, Grim Hollow has it, Critical Role’s Tal’dorei has it, plenty of other homebrewers have it and I can say for certainty I am having it. This is the first of around 15 Hemomancy spells I have in mind to be partnered with a Hemomancy Wizard for my own world (Spoilers) but I thought it would be worth sharing the first of them I made.

-Vampiric Circle-

6th-Level Necromancy (Hemomancy)

Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Duration: 1 hour Components: V, S, M (A bowl or plate worth at least 1000gp which is consumed after the spell is cast) Classes: Sorcerer, Wizard

You touch a point and infusing it and an area with a 20-foot radius with power of a vampire, drowning the floor in ichor. While in this area, you and one other creature of your choice gain the following benefits:

Your movement speed increases by 10-feet and does not provoke opportunity attacks while moving within this range

You have advantage on checks to escape the grappled condition and may use your spell modifier instead of Strength or Dexterity.

All your attacks are classed as magical damage and deal an additional 2d10 piercing damage.

As a bonus action, you can reduce this area by 5-feet, absorbing the ichor to gain 2d8 temporary hit points.

You may choose as a bonus action to change what creature gains the benefits of this spell, provided you can see them, and they are within area of this spell. If you or the other chosen creature reduce a creature to 0 hit points that was not a construct or an ooze that is within this spell’s range, the radius increases by 10 feet.

Dexter Morgan is a hemomancer

Because that’s all Blood Splatter Analysis really is. Divination through blood.
