->''Hemalurgy, it is called, because of the connection to blood. It is not a coincidence, I believe, that death is always involved in the transfer of powers via Hemalurgy. Marsh once described it as a "messy" process. Not the adjective I would have chosen. It's not disturbing enough. ''

->'''GG''': Well not exactly. I can only do that when I'm not exactly doing it on purpose. Because when I do it on purpose, I'll have to pay the price. And I really don't like paying the price.
->'''Erik''': [[AC: Oh... Can I ask what the price is?]]
->'''GG''': Blood and/or physical health. The amount of price is always related to the impact of what I change. But the exchange rate is horrible.

->''While the [[SupernaturalElite aristocratic vampire bloodlines]] bestow potent supernatural powers, [[EvilSorcerer some]] devote themselves to further occult study, honing their magical craft. Cut off from [[{{Mana}} anima]] as a source of power, they have learned to cannibalise the energies from the stolen blood in their veins. This renders them physically weaker than their earthier kin, [[LeanAndMean emaciating their frames]] with the purge of every ritual. They claim to require the blood of the magically abled, but this is an affectation rather than a scientific fact.''

->'''Kintaro:''' "I'm sorry, Ranma, but all the signs point to this being a blood spell of some kind, and spells cast with blood are not only nefarious and unscrupulous in the extreme, but very hard to break."\\
'''Ranma:''' "A blood spell? What the heck is that?"\\
'''Kintaro:''' "Just what it sounds like. A spell cast with the blood of a living creature. The more powerful the creature, the more powerful the spell. From what I can see in your aura, I would guess that the blood used was at least human, or possibly even that of a magical animal or spirit beast."

->'''Hadrathus:''' "Why have you delayed? Why have you allowed so many of your allies to fall pierced by arrows and spitted on spears?"

Watch, dog of Asura, false priest of an outworn god, and see a sight that shall blast your reason for evermore!'
