For the keystone passive skill, see Blood Magic.

Blood Magic is a support gem. It causes linked skills to be paid using life instead of mana, similar to the Blood Magic keystone, but at the expense of a very high mana multiplier.

Skill functions and interactions

The mana cost of any skill supported by this gem will be paid with life instead of mana, and similarly supported skills that reserve mana will instead reserve life. When reserving life, "reduced mana cost" from quality of this gem does not reduce the amount of life reserved.

The mana cost will still be calculated normally – reduced Mana Cost and other similar modifiers will still apply, but the resulting cost will be paid with life.

This can help certain spectres use their skills more often.
