| Description: | Few know the secrets of the fatal poison called Urrem'tier's Blood. Precious to priests and demons, it has been the cause of more than one holy war.
Dwelling in that sacrosanct Chalice are the alyurynaen. They're microscopic blood symbiotes which can, according to some, purge necromantic stain from spell patterns. Whether or not that is wishful thinking, Blood Magic certainly behaves differently in alyuryn proximity. | |
| Effect: | Changes Heighten Pain, Siphon Vitality, and Blood Burst | |
| Example Messaging: | You have learned this spell as a supplement to Blood Magic; it cannot be cast singly.
Blood Burst: Heighten Pain: Writhing black and red particles leap from the dead silver-backed bear and into another bear's body! Siphon Vitality: Your alyurynaen perish in droves for your sake. The last of your alyurynaen perish in droves for your sake. The alyurynaen return to dormancy. | |

Notes
- Learning this spell will kill you.
- Metaspell with three Blood Magic effects:
- Heighten Pain gains practically infinite duration but becomes limited to one target at a time. If a creature dies with it, the curse will jump to another creature in the room.
- Siphon Vitality's vitality healing effect is replaced by a vitality shield that is more efficient per point of damage if you have a free ward slot available.
- This barrier lasts 10-40 minutes, proportional its hit points at the time of the cast.
- If you do not have a ward slot avaiable then Siphon Vitality's original vitality healing applies instead.
- Blood Burst loses its bleeder requirement / vitality cost.
- The term alyuryn translates as "holy scorpion" in Gamgweth. Alyurynaen is the plural form.
- Like all other Anabasis spells, this is not taught by the various guildleaders.
- Like all other Anabasis spells, this spell only functions while Redeemed.
