| This spell converts flesh, blood and other bodily fluids into magical energy. Casters may focus this spell on their own bodies (which can be dangerous but never directly lethal) or can wield freshly butchered flesh in order to draw power into themselves. |
Sublimation of Blood is a level 2 Necromancy spell which converts your own HP into MP. Doing this inflicts irresistible damage to you, but can never kill you.
When cast on oneself, it returns 1+X MP, where X is a negative binomial random variable with parameters r=1 and p=1-6/spellpower. The average amount of recovered MP per casting is spellpower/6. Each MP recovered costs you 1 to 4 HP with average 1 + 18/spellpower HP.
Useful Info
- Sublimation of Blood has great synergy with Regeneration: draw energy from your own body with Sublimation of Blood to regain some MP, then cast Regeneration to regain the lost health at an accelerated pace.
- If you're in the heat of battle and intend to use this spell as an emergency MP source, don't let your MP reach 0; you need at least 2 MP to perform the first, hopefully successful, Sublimation spell.
History
Prior to 0.16 Sublimation of Blood could be used to turn chunks and potions of blood into mp.
