Balance is at the heart of the Bloodcraft Discipline, balance and blood. Those who take and destroy without thought will find no purchase in the lessons of Bloodcraft. Precision and control mark those who have mastered this Discipline. In order to drain the lifeblood of others and derive sustenance from it, great care is required. Likewise, forcing  an opponent's blood to cover their eyes or flood their mouth through pure willpower demands an intense amount of control on the Caster's part.

Many deem this Discipline as grotesque without truly understanding its core principles. Failed Bloodcrafters are those who have spent too much of their own energies or have been corrupted by taking too much through this art. Only those who have taken Precision and Control to heart know well that upsetting the balance can spell ill for the foolish and the ignorant.

But those who have mastered the delicate balancing of will and flesh in this Discipline can reap its benefits. They can drain the blood of others to fortify their life force or cleanse the ailments from the blood of a patient. More compassionate Bloodcrafters can save a fallen ally by sealing their wounds and bringing them to a more competent healer. All these powers and more await those who dare delve into the path of Bloodcrafting.
