What's so bad about blood magic?
You get HIV / AIDS.
The input is far greater than the output.
Just like everything else that fails in life.

MOOOOOOOOOOODS
forces you to stack blood magic and bleeding resistance on your character at some point
Use it too much and you die
>>319924087
you usually don't have enough blood/health to cast the best of it, so you must rely on (likely unwilling) donors
>>319924087
It was fine until an African bloodmage fucked a monkey. Just too dangerous now.
>>319924087
From what I understand (going by Dragon Age by the way), Blood Magic is far too powerful, has an extremely high chance of backfiring and causing trouble and lowers the users resistance to demons substantially more than regular magic.
Blood Magic users are edgy hippies anyway, Templars dindu nuffin.

sanguine assault + grim faction + regenesis seed L + def / blood sigils is one of the best builds in the gamess2 when
People become complete shitheads when they get power, and it's easy to go overboard with blood magic. That's why Revan was so based. He could harness dark power without being consumed by it.

You can summon demons into the human world
Demons are more powerful beings that humans and can control them
You become the demon's puppet in the human world endangering other humans
people mistake you for an emo kid with all those cuts.

Do you even chthonian claw
the damage on it is over twice as high as any other blood offering, they're ridiculous
>>319924087
>mfw characters cut their hands all the time on tv/games as if that shit isn't annoying as fuck to deal with.
>>319925607
I preferred the regular cannons, as the claw was less mobile, chewed through a bit more HP and was fire element, but you're right I totally forgot about that dlc and how much more powerful it was
nothing wrong at all
It's bad for your epidermis
In a thaumaturgical setting, Blood Magic is always deadly, requiring nigh endless quantities of sacrifices and requires the exploitation are large swathes of land/people/literal thousand of farm animals to yield the results people seek.
In generic "use life instead of mana" fantasy settings, it's not a big deal, since you just get life gain on hit and gain as much if not more than you spend to kill the enemies and loot their bodies.
It's dirty magic.
>>319924087
JESUS CHRIST OP, THATS DISGUSTING I'VE SEEN SOME SHIT BUT THAT TAKES THE CAKE.
MOOOOOODS!!!
>>319924087
Because drawing upon your blood is costly and makes you weaker, thus there is strong incentive to use the blood of other people. Hence those that use blood magic tends to eventually start draining other people out of convenience.

I don't think I've actually played any games that used blood magic. I thought blood magic was like poverty magic, just a substitute for when you don't have runes or stones available to use as casting or is that wrong?
It's like using ritalin/adderal to study. It's cheating, senpai.
>not being a hamon master
>>319926938
depends on the game.
In Dragon Age Origins Blood Magic is OP as fucking balls, you can stun anything that has blood and deal a shitload of damage.
And you can condemn blood mages all the time but nobody bats a fucking eye if you fucking become one, because fuck it.
why was being a blood mage so fucking shit in dragon age?
>>319926938
nah bro; blood magic is usually super-powerful, but its strength is directly proportional with how badly the caster is damaged. really cool when done well.

Dunno, it's great support.
>>319924087
That it entices people to not use their own?
Industrial Slavery Blood Magic:
1. There is never enough blood, because nobody did the math
2. Nobody did the math of regeneration math of blood either, so they waste 100-300x times the blood you would gain over the slaves life time
Beyond that, its usually featured as some shitty straw man
Blood Magic is a barbaric practice done only by a few dangerous mages that Aztechnology neither endorses nor employs.
