Blood Witch (Pathfinder Class)
Blood Witch[edit]
Blood Witch are rather difficult to find. In the process of becoming a blood witch, it's less mastering one type of magic, but more mastering all of them. While attempting to master them, Blood Witch's bodies take countless hits in order to even have enough blood to be able to cast those spells.
