Blood Magic

Overview
Bloodmagic is a type of sub-elemental magic that allows a user to manipulate blood. This could range from the ability to make a sword of blood, to causing the heart to stop pumping. There are many types of Bloodmagic that all do different things. Some users of Bloodmagic may have access to many types of it's sub-types/categories.

Also covered in this page is Blood-bending, which is a pseudo-category of Bloodmagic that requires the ability to manipulate liquids as well.

Techniques & Powers
Additive: With additive Bloodmagic, the user is manipulating blood in a way to create things, such as wings, obstacles/barriers/shields, weapons, constructs/minions, etc. This type allows a user to be more flexible and adaptable to situations with their magic. This is a more defensive and relaxed category of Bloodmagic.

Subtractive: In this category of Bloodmagic, the mage uses their abilities to destroy or harm objects/creatures with blood. They might summon a harmful blood from places unknown to form rays or bolts to destroy obstacles and hurt their enemies. This type of Bloodmagic is far more aggressive and offensive than most others.

Stream Manipulation: With this category, the user can manipulate blood inside a creature's body. They could slow their heart down to down/kill them, spray their blood out of a wound faster, track their position using their sense of blood, and even make them explode in multiple ways. This type often requires a type of compatible genetic material, such as a drop of blood or a strand of hair to be used to full effect.

Detrimental Additive/Evocative: A user of this category harms their own body by extracting blood to create or evoke harmful subtractive/additive Bloodmagic. This would be a psuedo-category of Bloodmagic, as it combines multiple types.

Bloodbending: Bloodbending users have small differences with the average bloodmage. They usually have Watermagic, or the ability to manipulate liquids. They have the ability to coalesce blood in order to use their abilities. They also often requires somatic (symbolic-movements) components to use their abilities. They create, guide, and abuse blood.

Limitations
Bloodmagic if done incorrectly could result in a far-overpowered character with few weaknesses, as most things can. They might require genetic material as mentioned above to extract/manipulate the blood of others, and maybe they have to be able to see blood to manipulate/change it. Detrimental Additive/Evocative bloodmagic is a good way to make characters fun to be around with and engage in combat with. It also makes them fun for you, as you're not always stomping the competition, which can get repetitive and boring for some.
