Blood Magic

The arts of blood magic, a vile tradition given by the Vampires in a long past age, when Kalusan The Scarlet made a barign with [Vampire name] to gamble his life on a riddle.

Oh great vampyre, Monster of the night who will have my life shall I fail this task. riddle me this... In the day I crawl in the mud, yet I rise with the morning sun. I am weak so as to let a wind blow me to dust, yet strong enough to bend the world to my will. my life is short, yet I will never die. I fester in the dark, yet bathe in the light. what am I?

The Arts of Blood magic are often Mixed with the Arcane Magic that mortals practice, this makes.

Corrupting Nature

Where necromancy is seen by lawful society as an art to be watched carefully, as an art that can easily lead to evil, blood magic, by its very nature in how it is done, has evil in its nature.

"What the court must understand, is that where me, my brothers and my sisters raise the dead bodies of those who have passed, we have the choice to wait. it is true that many of my study have turned to evil, seeking to speed up the process of collecting these bodies, but where for us its a temptation, for these mages of crimson it is a demand. A necromancer may wait for a man to die, a blood mage must cut him open to preform his arts."
-Ish'avar, High necromancer of the Basalt order, defending his collage of magic during the great burning.
