Infra Arcana has a blood school of magic. It casts from hp instead of from spirit, and has unique spells like one that allows the pc to move x spaces for no move cost, but each move drains hp. And casting these spells also costs insanity, like all magic in the game.

After reading this article > https://www.gamesradar.com/games/dr...ts-arent-where-bioware-want-the-hero-to-walk/

About Dragon Age Failguard not having blood mage because "muh is not heroic", I want to play games with powerful blood mages.
  • VtMB - Tremere clan. Is a lot different than P&P, but is near impossible to implement some P&P stuff in a video game mainly path of creation
  • Vanguard : Saga of heroes is a great DPS focused in damage over time and healer
  • Dragon Age Origins : Is very cool, sadly you can use it in front of Templars consequence free.
  • Salt & Sanctuary : Betrayer creed - It deals colossal damage but also applies a huge debuff to the caster, making him much more vulnerable to damage
  • WH40k - Inquisitor Martyr - Biomancy has some powers like , sadly OwlCat removed everything offensive from biomancy by no good reason. What is trash about the game is the diablo 3 style everything scales with gear BS.
  • TES with mods - Morrowind and skyim has blood magic via mods
  • GW1 - Necromancer - A lot of blood spells > https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Blood_Magic
And that is it from what I remember. Any more to the list?
For sperging into magic, the obvious choices are Dominions 6, or if you prefer a more streamlined and roguelike experience, Conquest of Elysium 5.

A lot of old Siege sights are gone. At times, I hate the net. I guarantee every site/pic/thread is stored somewhere but the old links are 404 or digital parking lots or sold off. I'll see if I can find the mod.

Meh. Can't be the Elys succubus mod. Fuck me for not archiving this shit properly.

Sad, because magic is one aspect where modders always do a much better job than professional game devs. Just compare blood magic in ESO vampire skills with all TES V : Skyrim blood magic spells. I honestly don't get why modern game devs like so much tier based gear progression but hate so much tier based spell progression. Even in skyrim, going from ice spikes to ice lance was a huge boost.

There's a game called Dawn of Magic. It has tons of magic schools, and one of them is the blood magic. Heck, the original title for the game is "Blood Magic".
The game is pretty boring, though.

Dominions series has races based on blood magic, blood magic system and blood hunting.




Absolutely Dominions. What other game can your player character literally be a blood fountain?

It's even funnier if your nation practices mass virgin hunting.

Old ass game called Dawn of Magic ("Магия Крови\Blood Magic" in Russia) had blood magic and char changing looks depending on the magic type you learn. Not a good game unfortunately even by Diabloid standarts. But could be interesting for vidya history sake.

Nice, i had fun with this one. On to other bloody spells.

Avencast - Rise of the Mage has Blood Magic, but may be a stretch.

Fell Seal - Arbiter's Mark has the Lich Blood Magic skill that uses HP instead of MP.

Blasphemous has some blood related powers - Fervorous Blood, Sacred Blood, Bleeding Miracle

Vampire Dawn has blood magic.

Grim Dawn's Occultist has Bloody Pox spell.

Technically Nitara in Mortal Kombat.

Elden Ring Blood Incantations (and Mohg the Formless Mother or whatever it was called)

In the narrative both the final enemy of Victor Vran (and various of his lackeys)
