Hemomancy: the manipulation of blood through Primordial magic. Often an overlooked practice, hemomancy is a magic with a dark stigma. Those with the discipline and knowledge to perfect the art can become formidable fighters, trackers/sensitives(detect heartbeats, track blood to its original owner), or skilled medics.

With Hemomancy, and a decent education in anatomy and physiology, the potential healing factor of a medic is exponentially increased: being able to stop bleeding, "feel" and find internal hemorrhaging, and cleanse wounds whilst sealing them.

When it comes to combat, there are three direct methods:

1.make weak-willed foes into blood puppets to immediately incapacitate them.

2.drain their blood (Foe's willpower and/or talent in Primordial arts effect effectiveness of the draining)

3. Construct a "blood golem" of sorts by utilizing available blood. The Hemomancer creating said construct must "Imprint" a set of thoughts and instincts into the construct itself, that it may do its task without the constant presence of the Hemomancer. The construct itself is not limited in form, as the limits are the Hemomancers imagination ( often crabs, scorpions, octopi, ect)

4. directly construct tools to use and manipulate; such as claws, tendrils, throwing knives, spines, ect...
