Power of Blood abilities are gained through drinking the Alchemical Concoction that is located on a table in the study of Avernus's Tower. This instantly grants two new Power of Blood abilities, based on class. These "enhance" the power The Warden gained from the darkspawn taint.

Spells - Mage

Dark Sustenance Dark Sustenance
Activated
Range: Personal
Activation: 0
Cooldown: 60s
A self-inflicted wound lets the mage draw from the power of tainted blood, rapidly regenerating a significant amount of mana but taking a small hit to health.
Bloody Grasp Bloody Grasp
Activated
Range: Medium
Activation: 15
Cooldown: 10s
The mage's own tainted blood becomes a weapon, sapping the caster's health slightly but inflicting spirit damage on the target. Darkspawn targets suffer additional damage for a short period.

Talents - Rogue

Dark Passage
  • Passive
Tapping the power of tainted blood makes the rogue more nimble, able to move more quickly while using Stealth and more likely to dodge a physical attack.
The Tainted Blade
  • Activation: 40
  • Upkeep: 40
  • Fatigue: 5%
  • Cooldown: 5s
The rogue’s blood gushes forth, coating the edges of weapons with a deadly taint. The character gains a bonus to damage determined by the cunning attribute, but suffers continuously depleting health in return. Bug: with tainted blade active bleeding damage from dual-weapon expert will be applied to the player instead of or in addition to the target.


Talents - Warrior

Blood Thirst
  • Sustained
The warriors own tainted blood spills in sacrifice, increasing movement speed, attack speed and critical hit-chance. For as long as this mode is active, however, the warrior suffers greater damage and continuously diminishing health. Bug: With Blood Thirst active the bleeding effect from dual-weapon expert applies to the enemy and/or the warrior (yes same bug as Tainted Blade for Rogues).
Blood Fury
  • Activation: 35
The warrior sprays tainted blood in order to knock back nearby enemies, which they may resist by passing a physical resistance check. The gush of blood, however, results in a loss of personal health.
