Blood mages are able to keep their allies alive through a variety of spells and abilities.

Healing

Blood Mages have two targeted direct heals, one heal over time, one group heal and various buffs that will be integral in performing your task as a healer.

"The Blood Mage uses her blood to heal an ally, other than herself, for a large amount of health. Heals for an extra 2% per level of Blood Union."

This is the Blood Mage's primary direct heal. Blood Gift can heal quite a large amount of damage, but every cast costs the Blood Mage health as well as energy (the Blood Mage can actually kill herself by using this spell). Blood Gift also has a long casting time, making it less than ideal for those times when a quick heal is more important than a powerful one.

"Infuses a moderate amount of health into the Blood Mage's defensive target. Heals for an extra 2% per level of Blood Union."

This is the Blood Mage's secondary direct heal. Infuse Health is far less energy efficient than Blood Gift, however it's short casting time and ability to be used on the Blood Mage herself make it an important addition to the Blood Mage's arsenal. Infuse Health does not cost health to cast (unlike Blood Gift).

This spell bonds you with a single ally, allowing you to split incoming damage amongst each other.

Blood Union and Rituals

Blood mages have discovered the true power that lies within blood. Since a blood mage’s own blood source is finite, he reaches out to his enemies and forms a parasitic union between his own blood and theirs. Once he has established this blood union he can siphon power from it and use it to augment his spells. The blood mage can also use this power to cast spells called Rituals. Rituals are spells that consume both mana and the power created by the blood union.
Some rituals require a specific level of union and others are simply more powerful if used while a blood union is in place, but all rituals deplete the blood union once used.

Blood Union also affects spells that aren’t rituals, though only rituals require Blood Union in order to cast.

This ritual shields your allies from damage by using the power from your blood union to block incoming attacks. The shield will stay up as long as it still has hit points.

This ritual summons negative energy from the blood union you have forced upon your opponent to damage them.

This ritual heals an ally, other then yourself for health over 20 seconds. Only useable from Blood Union 3 or greater. Reduces Blood Union by 3 1 second refresh. Instant Cast time.

Life Transferring

The blood mage will have many tools at his disposal to transfer the various energies of himself and his opponents.

Symbioses

Not only is the blood mage arcane, but he is also studied in the knowledge of his fellows beings. The blood mage can perform experiments on living tissue in order to make symbiotic creatures to live on himself or his allies. When you have a symbiote attached to you, you gain whatever abilities the corresponding symbiote grants. (You can cast these abilities as if they were granted to you by your class trainer, for a period of time)

The process of creating a symbiote is somewhat disturbing. It requires a fresh organ and a vial of your own blood. Once these two things are combined, depending on the organ, you will receive a symbiote.

Blood Mages are Arcane Scientists. With a Vial of their own blood, a fresh organ and a little energy, the Blood Mage can construct symbiotic beings. These beings can be attached to allies and opponents alike, creating various affects. As your Blood Mage grows in power you will be able to create many more Symbiotes. Refer to your ability page under crafting and assembly to find what Symbiotes you can create.

Harvests an organ out of a living body. Harvests different organs based on what your opponent has been affected by.

Works in conjunction with Union of Blood, Constrict, Exploding Cyst and Blood Letting Ritual.

This spell attaches a Conducive Symbiote on you. This symbiote lives on you and grants you an ability to use.

This ability allows your heals to be more effective on any ally that is affected.

Spell Casting Focuses

On top of the other tools in the blood mages arsenal, he also has spell casting focuses to use. These are spell casting forms that allow him to focus on different areas of combat, depending on his situation.

This form allows you to slowly trade your health for greater power. As you lose health you gain increased damage, immunity to poison and disease and you gain extra blood union with your opponent.

This form incresess All healing done to targets and Gives an increse in Health Regen as well as reducing that amount of damge you take but also cuts the damage you do in half as well as reducing incoming healing
