A new mod forThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimgives players access to blood magic. WhileSkyrimis full of different ways for players to build their characters, some have found that trying to create a pure mage Dragonborn can be a long slog in the game, as a lot of the most powerful spells can only be cast by those who have reached a high level in their school of magic. Moreover, some have criticizedSkyrim’smagic system as being rather bland, especially compared to past entries inThe Elder Scrollsfranchise.
Now, a new mod is looking to change that by adding a blood magic school into the game. Modding has brought tons of new content over toSkyrimin the eleven years since the game first launched. While blood magic has been seen inThe Elder Scrolls 5before in some capacity, these abilities were tied to becoming a Vampire or one ofSkyrim’sVampire Lords. This means that a mod adding those dark spells proves to be a unique one, even inSkyrim’svast roster of mods.

Fourteen spells are added toSkyrimwith Hemomancy: Blood Magic, a new mod by KataPUMB which can be downloaded now from the Skyrim Nexus Mods page. For those that don’t want to suck blood but still want to use it in their spellcasting, Hemomancy: Blood Magic might just be the mod, as it gives the Dragonborn a variety of new spells to choose from with some interesting abilities.
All of thesecustomSkyrimspellswill lower the player’s health regeneration and the effectiveness of healing potions, but the tradeoff here is that by using blood magic, the Dragonborn will steal the HP of their enemies. The abilities for Hemomancy range all the way from Novice to Master spells, giving the player some interesting and powerful moves, including AoE and single-target attacks.
Some of these Hemomancy spells can even evaporate opponents if they’re weak enough. To make a player’s spellcasting even more potent, a number of new amulets have been added toSkyrim, and there’s also the addition of a new companion in the form of a living gargoyle. Hemomancy: Blood Magic may not have as many spellcasting choices as some otherSkyrimmods like Apocalypse: Magic of Skyrim, but it certainly adds some flavorful new options for any player wanting to dip their toes into some truly dark arts.
Of course,Skyrimhas plenty of other mods for those who want to change up the way they venture around the coldest region of Tamriel. For anyone averse to the arcane arts, there was recently anew combat overhaul added toSkyrim, which changed the dated systems and brought the 2011 title closer to more modern games likeGod of WarandElden Ring.
