And verily, did Erik Jameson hastily scribble thusly...
|As I recall, Blood Magic first popped up before the Scourge. I can't
|recall if it was simply a way to boost your power of it was seen as a way
|to channel power without having to pump as much raw magic (which was
|increasingly tainted) through you. I think blood magic was invented before
|spell matrices were.

Actually, blood magic popped up first with such things as "Blood Oaths".
They originally were just symbolic, and didn't hold any actual power, but as
their use grew, abd peoples belief in them grew, the people were suddenly
suprised to find that they began to hold power over the oath-makers (and
breakers).

The rest of blood magic sprang from that....
