Blood Focus

This article concerns content for Secret World Legends. For the TSW Classic version, click here.

Blood abilities grow in power the more they are used, and must be controlled with abilities that expel this power. Negligent use results in dire consequences..

Blood Magic Focus (or simple Blood Magic) are one of the primary weapon abilities. They are long-ranged weapons, with most abilities having a range of 15-meters.

Blood Magic is primarily associated with with abilities that focus on making enemies Impaired or Afflicted, attacking with Focus or Chain attacks, and landing Penetrating hits. They are also one of the primary Healing weapons in the game.

Abilities

Special Ability

The Special Ability for Blood Magic is called Blood Offering.

Whenever you use Blood Magic abilities that do damage, you gain points of Signet. Whenever you use Blood Magic abilities that do healing, you gain points of Martyrdom. Note that these two points are in opposition to each other, so if you have points in Signet and use a healing ability, your Martydom points would instead subtract from your Signet level, and vice-versa

While you have more than 25 points of Signet, your Blood Magic abilities do extra damage but you receive less healing from incoming heals. While you have more than 25 points of Martyrdom, your Blood Magic abilities will heal for an extra amount but you also receive less healing from incoming heals. If you have more than 10 points in either of them, your Blood Magic abilities cause you to take self-inflicted damage.

The breakdowns for self-inflicted damage is:

• 0-9 points = 0% of damage or healing you do
• 10-59 points = 1.5% of damage or healing you do
• 60-89 points = 3.0% of damage or healing you do
• 90-100 points = 6.0% of damage or healing you do
• NOTE: If you use your Basic ability, you will only take 33% of the self-inflicted damage you should

The breakpoints for bonuses to doing damage/healing and penalty to receiving healing is:

• 0-24 points = +0% to your Blood Magic abilities
• 25-49 points = +15.6% to your Blood Magic ability damage or healing. Incoming heals are reduced by 20%.
• 50-74 points = +32.7% to your Blood Magic ability damage or healing. Incoming heals are reduced by 50%.
• 75-100 points = +53.5% to your Blood Magic ability damage or healing. Incoming heals are reduced by 95%.

Casting any Blood Magic ability will prevent Corruption or Martyrdom from decaying for 3 seconds. If a Blood Magic ability has not been cast for 3 seconds then Corruption or Martyrdom will decay by losing 4 points per second.
