Hemomancer

A crimson mist flows out from a crowd, as a gaunt dragonborn absorbs the crimson nectar. In an instant, the husks are beset upon by the lord's spawn, pining for scraps of their master's fresh kills.

The blood of an intruder fills a bucker, as the elf soaks the ground in red. The grove returns to life with flowers and fruits as the morbid garden blossoms.

Her arm gushing, the orc places her hand over it. In an instant, the wound is replaced with a layer of crimson metal. The soldiers gather around, each presenting fresh cuts.

Hemomancers are able to harness the magic of blood, a life-giving fluid that hides raw power coursing through their veins. Through their profound understanding and manipulation of blood, Hemomancers can shape weapons, mend or corrupt the flesh of others, or even tug upon the threads that bind existence. It is said that those who master hemomancy hold a key to understanding the intricate connection between life, magic, and the very fabric of the cosmos.

Morbid Practitioners

Through constant exposure to blood that one can awaken to its magical potential. Almost all hemomancers will find their previous occupation filled with constant wounds, be it their own or others. Soldiers, torturers, doctors, or other professions surrounded by blood gain an innate sense for the life energy. As they master their craft, they learn more unique forms of blood magic.

Because of this morbid method of magecraft, hemomancers reek of death. Few people are drawn to the practice, let alone its practitioners. Those that walk this crimson path of life will find solitude their closest friend, and fear your most common greeting.

Creating a Hemomancer

All hemomancers have come across blood commonly in their life in order to learn the art. When writing the backstory for your character, decide what was the source of your exposure to blood and how did it shape your form of hemomancy. Does your magic come from arcane research, divine blessings, or a bond with nature? Is life precious or worthless to your character? What does it say about them that they are willing to sacrifice their own life force to wield magic?

Blood magic is a very macabre art, and draws the ire of most that learn you're a practitioner. Do you hide your magic or embrace it publicly? Do you rely on your party for social interactions? Are there connections with people tolerant of your gruesome magic?
