📋 About This Mod
Unleash the raw, life-giving force of your own blood to fuel devastating spells in the new Blood Sorcerer subclass. Unlike typical sorcerers who tap into distant ancestral powers, the Blood Sorcerer draws strength directly from their own vitality. Every spell cast comes at a cost, draining life essence in exchange for unmatched magical might. This painful tradeoff makes them fragile, but their amplified power can turn the tide of battle in a heartbeat. Will you embrace the sacrifice and wield your life force as a weapon?
Features:
This mod adds a new subclass for the Sorcerer: Blood Sorcery. This subclass manipulates the bleeding status effect and blood surfaces, granting buffs when the caster is bleeding and empowering spells if enemies stand in blood or are bleeding.
It adds 12 new spells with custom VFX and icons to complement this playstyle, centered around bleeding effects, self-damage, and blood surfaces. Wizards, Fiend Warlocks, Great Old One Warlocks, and Sorcerers can access these new spells.
