Blood Price

*Unique to Sunderwake.* You open a wound on your own body, a deliberate, ritual cut, and channel your shed blood into a bolt of searing crimson energy that streaks toward a creature within range. Before making the attack, choose how many hit points to sacrifice: a minimum of 5 and a maximum equal to half your current HP (rounded down). This HP loss follows Blood Magic rules (bypasses temporary HP, cannot be healed by magic, cannot reduce you below 1 HP). Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the target takes necrotic damage equal to twice the HP you sacrificed. On a miss, you still lose the sacrificed HP, but the target takes no damage. The blood doesn't merely fly; it writhes, twisting mid-air as though alive, and where it strikes, it burns like acid. The wound on your arm doesn't bleed normally afterward; it weeps black for hours, a visible testament to what you gave.
