| Description: | Blood Burst is one of the more violent manifestations of Blood Magic, turning a small portion of the magician's blood into a deadly explosive. While this pattern is capable of ripping out the blood necessary for the effect to take place, it is less stressful on the caster if they are already bleeding, either from a wound or from a ritual cut. The shock of Blood Burst's explosion is quite something to behold, kinetic force mixed with violent necromancy, and often staggers those who are hit by the spell. | |
| Effect: | Impact damage, Fire damage, Balance reduction | |
| Example Messaging: | You swipe your fingertips over your hand, collecting blood on them. Your ritualistic cut dries up completely. | |
| Devices/Tattoos: | Baroque ivory wand inlaid with vengeance rubies | |
Notes
- Blood Burst will always drain vitality when cast but the amount drained can be lessened by having a bleeding wound or a ritualistic CUT.
- Exception: The Anabasis metaspell Ebon Blood of the Scorpion removes the bleeder/ritual requirement and vitality cost.
- A successful hit will reduce your opponent's balance and potentially knock them down.
- No longer accrues Divine Outrage.
- Casting this spell inside a standard justice zone generates Social Outrage.
- Will ignite Naphtha.
