Blood Magic Mod lets you practice a dark, arcane art that uses blood to gain incredible power. You can sacrifice your own health, or the health of other mobs, to collect a special power called Life Essence. This essence is the fuel for all your magical creations, from powerful rituals and sigils to unique tools and armor. Be careful, as this forbidden magic can be dangerous, but the rewards are definitely worth it.

Features:

Harness Life Essence (LP) by sacrificing your own health or the health of mobs.
Craft a Blood Altar, the central block for all your magical crafting and infusions.
Upgrade your Blood Altar through multiple tiers to unlock more powerful abilities.
Use a Sacrificial Knife to convert your health into LP, or a Dagger of Sacrifice to get it from mobs.
Create and use Blood Orbs to store LP in your personal Soul Network.
Craft various Sigils that grant special powers, like placing water and lava, flying, or mining faster.
Build complex Ritual structures to perform powerful magic, such as creating Bound Tools.
Forge Bound Armor and customize it with sigils to gain unique abilities.
Learn everything you need to know from the in-game guide book, the Sanguine Scientum.

Lore:

The more arcane magics use the life force of objects and creatures. Because of this utilization of the spark of life found in all living creatures, it is considered evil and has been cast out of normal use. However, even though the magic does use this “Life Essence,” it does not mean that every action used with it is inherently evil.

Every “Item of Power,” in this case those that have a special function and do not just sit in your inventory and look good, consumes Life Essence, whose unit of measurement is “LP.” Generally, 100LP equals half a heart of the player, so it is a good thing to keep in mind when looking at an item. There is also one more caveat that must be explored, and that is in the nature of “Blood Pacts.” A Pact is formed when you first use an item, and it bonds the item to the player forever. Because of this special bond, every single item that has a player’s signature will drain their toll from that player on use. Fear not, though, because if the player has no Essence to drain from it will instead sap it directly from the user’s health (painful for the more powerful items). This bond between the player and all of its items is referred to as the “Soul Network.”

The only way to utilize the player’s Soul Network is to create your very first item, and that will require a bit of sacrifice.

The basic elements to this mod are the Sacrificial Knife and the Dagger of Sacrifice. One takes blood from yourself and the other from mobs respectively.

And after that you’ll need an altar. These come in 6 different tiers and all get increasingly larger while allowing you to do greater things with each increase. It will take a very long time and will be very costly to max out your altars but with the abilities you’ll eventually learn it will all be worth it.

Blood orbs will help to keep your altars well stocked with blood. They act as containers so you don’t need to continually supply the altars with fresh blood.

There are many great things you can accomplish with sigils, from the very basic to complex. If you’d like to conjure water, craft a Water Sigil. Lava? Lava Sigil. Would you like to fly? Air Sigil.

How to Use:

Start by crafting a Blood Altar. This is the main block you will use for everything.
Next, craft a Sacrificial Knife. You will use this to get your first drops of Life Essence (LP).
Stand near the Blood Altar and right-click with the Sacrificial Knife in hand. This will take one of your hearts and add 200 LP to the altar.
Once you have 2,000 LP in the altar, toss a diamond into it. It will absorb the LP and turn into a Weak Blood Orb, which lets you store your power.
For a full guide, craft the Sanguine Scientum book in-game. It will teach you everything else you need to know.
