Vampiric Hunger is a red spell that allows one to heal their wounds by spilling the blood of others. It is one of the more offensive, rather than defensive, blood magic spells, and it is much more aggressive. In battles, this allows for a good fighter to fight for much longer before needing more intensive healing, and allows for less strong fighters to still stand a chance, so long as they are able to get some swings in.
In accordance with the rulings of the Osteaic Circle of Blood, this spell is not permitted for use outside of a military setting. However, it is allowed to be used by soldiers engaged in active combat sponsored by a state. This, by design, does not include rebellion fighters - the circle did not want to invite the criticism that they were enabling resistance against authorities.

Effect
On a metaphysical level, this spell allows the affected to harness the blood of another as fuel for a healing spell. This still requires some amount of effort from them, and is not a passive effect. However, when cast on fighters that will be attacking quickly and often, it is a great way to provide a boost to their health to allow them to keep fighting.
It is often cast by healers onto their frontline fighters, so that the healers can focus on keeping up with the health of their less sturdy but more hard-hitting fighters.

Side/Secondary Effects
There is a visual change to people affected by this spell. A person who is under the effects of this spell will appear to have bloodshot eyes, and those using anything allowing them to see magical fields will see a small red gloaw around the affected person.
