Blood Flow Hex

Blood Flow Hex

"Sanguinio" (san-GWEE-nee-oh)

Dark • Harmful • Healing

This spell allows the caster to affect the flow of blood in minor ways. It can cause blood to flow in unnatural directions, even climbing vertical surfaces. It can be used to cause minor hemorrhaging of blood vessels, giving a target a nosebleed, bruising, or even causing them to cough up blood. Alternatively, it can be used to staunch minor bleeding, making it possibly the only Dark spell that is useful for healing. Dried blood cannot be affected by this spell.
