Whether power through sacrifice, a connection with primal life force or gothic vampiric sanguimancy - blood magic runs through much of the fantasy genre. Often forbidden or dangerous, we explore how you can bring blood magic to the table. From safety tools on self-sacrificial mechanics and hemomancy wizards to blood domain clerics and even blood archers, this has everything a bloodthirsty table needs.
The content of this episode covers sensitive content including mentions and use of self-harm for in-game magic is a mechanic that can be triggering for some. If you or someone that you know struggles with self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or if you or a loved one are experiencing a difficult time, know that you are not alone.
