Well Blood Mages are special (mostly evil (by my
standards)) Mages from Aztlan. They have learned to
cast spell and transfer their drain to physical damage
either to them selves or to other characters.
Currently it's not known if they are required to
actually required to inflict the physical damage themselves
or if they just need to be touching the receipent of the
drain(physical damage). This allows them to cast extremely
large spells without the normal consequences of resisting
the incomming drain. (if they have creatures/(meta)humans
to sacrifice to the spell) i.e. for light drain maybe they
only need to kill a rat but for deadly they need to kill
someone to accept all the drain. It's also not know
if they have to transfer all the drain or if they only
need to transfer partial drain. If this is the case
they could use slaves to cast large spells, not needing
to kill them (*doing only serious damage*) then using
them again for another day.

Blood Spirits are Conjured spirits from the actual blood
of a recently killed individual. *see Aztlan sorce book
(in the back) for Blood Spirit stats*

Hope this helps.
Now that you know the nastiness you should understand
my curiousness of how others have played them...
