This is an idea. How's about a 1-point edge for knowing blood magic but having
a Geas against it (that can't be lifted through initiation for whatever karmic
reason). An edge bcasue the character CAN do it if he absolutely has to, even
though it'll cost him. Also, he could, presumably teach it. n fact, this might
bring more than its value in flaws, because of the "Mage Who Knew too Much"
factor. Blood magic orders tend to be a bit secretive about their techniques,
you know...
