New Trapping: Blood

Some settings, particularly those in the dark fantasy and horror genres, have depraved mages and ritualists who draw power from blood. The blood trapping is used only by evil necromancers and blood cultists who wish to invoke fear and panic in onlookers.

The blood trapping is used only by evil necromancers and blood cultists who wish to invoke fear and panic in onlookers. An ability with the blood trapping involves hemorrhaging in some way and can be disgusting and horrifying to witness, particularly when a wound is inflicted.

Damage-causing powers typically cause blood to erupt from orifices and open wounds. Protective powers filter toxins directly from the bloodstream, pump a target full of adrenaline, or surround the arcanist with hardened blood. Others, such as Summon Ally, create creatures from blood sacrificed by the blood mage.
