Blood Mage is an Ascendancy class for the Witch.

Overview

The Blood Mage puts her Life on the line in exchange for power. The Blood Mage must take Sanguimancy as her first skill, causing skills to have a life cost on top of mana cost, but also causing killed monsters to drop Life Remnants that recover life which can Overflow. From there on, she gains access to passives that grant powerful bonuses to Critical Hits, Bleeding, and Curses, and additional sources of life-based defenses and recovery.
