Blood Magic Blood magic is a dark and extremely powerful form of magic, which bypasses most of the normal limitations of regular magic. Strictly forbidden and heavily persecuted throughout Thalesmere, blood magic draws power for its spells from the life force of living beings, with simple animals providing only a small amount of power, while sentient beings can offer much more. Blood mages are dangerous opponents who should never be underestimated, as their power is only limited by the number of living beings which they can sacrifice. Studied in secret by a small number of mages, blood magic has been responsible for some of the most infamous massacres and wars in the history of the world, most known of them being the sacrifice of the entire city of Kaldunna, by the human mage Lysander, in order to create an immensely powerful magical weapon known as Silence, around one thousand years ago. Although most blood mages in history, have been humans, blood magic is forbidden in both elven and human lands and blood mages are hunted down and killed without mercy or hesitation.
