Changes: Blood of the First

Latest revision as of 05:25, 9 May 2020

Blood of the First is one of Merrill's spells from her unique Dalish Pariah specialization in Dragon Age II. It has the same stats as the Blood Magic spell from the Blood Mage specialization.

Information[]

1 health provides 2 mana
Spellcasting consumes health instead of mana
Immune to conventional healing

Notes[]

Damage caused by Blood Magic can be mitigated by the abilities Battle Synergy and Bodyguard (This is no longer possible as of patch 1.03).
Blood Magic enhancements on gear stack with the health-to-mana exchange of the skill as well.
Even though this mode prevents healing by conventional means, faster health regeneration is still possible provided that Panacea and/or Healing Aura affects Merrill.
