Blood Magic

Casting your Blood Magic abilities adds points of Corruption or Martyrdom, causing the meter to move to the left as you gain Corruption, and to the right as you gain Martyrdom.  Each of the two sides of the meter scale to a maximum of 100 points. You cannot have both: gaining points of Corruption while on the right side of the spectrum will reduce your level of Martyrdom, and gaining points of Martyrdom while on the left side of the spectrum will reduce your level of Corruption.

While on the Corruption side of the spectrum you deal increased damage, take self-inflicted damage when attacking, and have reduced incoming healing at specific Corruption point thresholds. While on the Martyrdom side of the spectrum you heal your target for an additional amount, take self-inflicted damage when healing, and have reduced incoming healing at specific Martyrdom point thresholds. Both sides of the spectrum have the same 3 important point thresholds. The first threshold is reached when above 10 points, the second threshold is reached when above 60 points, and the final threshold is reached when above 90 points.

Self-inflicted damage is dealt as a percentage of your maximum hit points. You take 1.5% self-inflicted damage above the first threshold, 3% self-inflicted damage above the second threshold, and 6% self-inflicted damage above the final threshold. Blood Magic Basic abilities only deal 33% of normal self-inflicted damage.

The Corruption and Martyrdom meters scale to 100, and have 3 important thresholds:

* 0 to 25: Your Blood Magic abilities deal normal damage and healing.
* 25 to 50: Your Blood Magic ability damage or healing is increased by 15.6%. Incoming heals are reduced by 20%.
* 50 to 75: Your Blood Magic ability damage or healing is increased by 32.7%. Incoming heals are reduced by 50%.
* 75 to 100: Your Blood Magic ability damage or healing is increased by 53.4%. Incoming heals are reduced by 95%.

Casting any Blood Magic ability will prevent Corruption or Martyrdom from decaying for 3 seconds; thereafter Corruption or Martyrdom will decay, losing 4 points per second.

# Passive

## Absolution

You have safeguards built into your magic which trigger when your Corruption or Martyrdom level exceeds 60. When this happens, your Corruption or Martyrdom level is reduced by 50 and you regain 25% of your missing health.

## Lingering Curse

The effects of your Dread Sigil linger, cursing affected targets by dealing 1 magical damage every second for 5 seconds.

## Contaminate

When you Reap enemies you infuse them with your Corruption, causing the damage over time effect to increase to 3 - 3 magical damage per second. The damage dealt increases based on your Corruption level when "Reap" is cast.

## Flay

The magic conjured by your Maleficium mercilessly tears at your foes, increasing the damage dealt to 6 on enemies who are affected by any of your Blood Magic damage over time effects.

## Convergence

When Sanguine Coalescence expires or is destroyed, the energy converges inside of you instead of exploding outwards causing your next 4 Blood Magic attacks to deal an additional 10 magical damage.

## Blood Flow

Power flows from the crushed heart of victims of your Rupture. If your Corruption level is above 60 you further afflict the target, dealing 2 magical damage every second for 6 seconds. If your Martyrdom level is above 60 you transform the power into healing energy for your defensive target, restoring 2 health every second for 6 seconds. These effects are improved if ""Rupture"" successfully interrupts a target.

## Defilement

While your Desecrate is active, your Blood Magic abilities inflict further defilement, causing you to gain 20% more Corruption. If you are already at maximum Corruption, your Blood Magic abilities deal 16.5% more damage.

## Resurgence

You draw forth more of your energy when you cast Rejuvenate improving the healing to 3 per second. In addition, the healing is not reduced by your Martyrdom level.

## Paroxysm

The runes inscribed by your Runic Hex are carved deep, resulting in mass hexing. When ""Runic Hex"" expires, any enemies damaged by the resulting detonation are afflicted with a lesser version of the Hex which deals 2 magical damage every second for 3 seconds and slows their movement. During this time the target's attacks restore 2 health to whomever they attack. The hex explodes one final time when it expires, dealing 2 magical damage to nearby enemies and healing nearby allies for 1.

## Desolate

Your Eldritch Scourge lays waste to your target's soul increasing the damage and healing done by 52%.

Restorative Ward ==
Your Sanctuary ability helps accelerate the restoration process. While an ally is protected by your ""Sanctuary"" barrier effect, each subsequent use of the ability increases the base healing done by 3.5%. This bonus is removed when the barrier effect is removed. In addition, applying a barrier with ""Sanctuary"" no longer causes you to take damage from Martyrdom.

## Soothe

The barrier applied by Convalesce to low health targets amplifies healing energies, increasing incoming healing from all sources by 15%.

## Mercy

Your Redemption grants relief and aid to those who need it most. ""Redemption's"" health restoration is increased to 20. In addition, ""Redemption"" causes less damage from Martyrdom when used on low health targets and reduces your Martyrdom level more when used on high health targets."

## Sacrament

The runic energy which maintains the barriers applied by your Communion ability is bound with a powerful charm. Whenever any of your "Communion" barriers are destroyed by incoming damage, your entire group is healed for 6.

## Clemency

You are able to draw restorative power from your blood when your life is threatened. Whenever you take damage from Corruption or Martyrdom while your health is below 50% you are healed for 0. This effect can only occur a limited number of times. When you enter combat you gain 5 uses of this restorative effect and you regain 1 every 15 seconds while in combat.

## Curse of Destruction

The power of your Corrupted blood curses your foes to ruination. If your Corruption level is above 10, your Blood Magic critical hits curse your target for 5 seconds causing them to take an additional 9 magical damage from subsequent Blood Magic critical hits.

## Crimson Pulse

Your blood surges when you critically hit or heal with Blood Magic abilities. When you critically hit, your target suffers 3 magical damage every second for 3 seconds. When you critically heal, your ally regains 0 health every second for 3 seconds.

## Last Rites

Your magical power allows you to cheat death for a brief time. Whenever you take damage that would have defeated you and your Corruption or Martyrdom level is above 60, you instead are able to continue living for 4 seconds. When this time expires, you are truly defeated. If your Corruption level was above 60 when Last Rites was triggered, you explode upon death dealing 74 magical damage to nearby enemies. If your Martyrdom level was above 60 when "Last Rites" was triggered, you explode upon death restorting 0 health to nearby allies.

## Sanguine Charm

You keep a small blood charm at the ready to store your gained power. Whenever you would lose power via reduction in your Corruption or Martyrdom level, the damage and healing done by your Blood Magic abilities is increased by 9% for 4 seconds.

## Rites of Refuge

Your Blood Magic barriers are reinforced by potent magics, increasing the Protection of allies with your barriers by 1225.

## Shroud of Retribution

Your Blood Magic barriers are covered in retributive runes, increasing the strength of your Blood Magic barriers by 3% and causing 1 magical damage to any attackers. The damage dealt scales with your Combat Power or Healing Power, whichever is higher.

## Red Tide

The flow of your blood-fueled restorative magic grows stronger as your Martyrdom level increases. If you gain two power increases from Martyrdom within 6 seconds, the power of your Blood Magic heals is increased by 10% for 6 seconds.
