blood magic
Hemomancy's forbidden art
Blood magic is the use of blood in magical rituals or spells, typically presented in fantasy fiction and games as a powerful but dangerous or forbidden practice.
The blood may be the caster's own, offered as sacrifice, or taken from others: The necromancer used blood magic to bind the demon.
Blood magic often carries dark connotations—power gained through suffering or moral compromise.
