Spells
Besides the below schools, you may learn spells from the Air, Frost, and Plants schools of the Elementalist.
Blood
Ideas:
- Let Blood: take damage, add it to your spells
- Bloodborne: infect subject with a bloodborne pathogen:
- Hemophilia (slashing/piercing causes ongoing damage)
- Sickle-cell (debilitating pain)
- Anemia (causes exhaustion)
- Should Blood Boil be rolled into this?
- Burning Blood: dripped blood becomes a burning square
- Ring of Fire
- Blood Nova (target can be friendly or enemy, but only harms others)

Special phylactery that allows you to treat an enemy's magic as your own |

Whenever you heal for any reason, you may exceed your max HP, gaining the excess as temporary Hit Points, which expire at the end of the encounter. |

When you are missing Hit Points, you can add your HP debt to the damage of any attack or spell you inflict, to a maximum of 100% of the attack's original damage. This does not change your current HP. |
| Deathball |
Craftable vessel allowing you to store an undead minion in stasis until needed. |

Using a corpse and components of non-trivial cost, you can make permanent undead servants. |
| Familiar |
