Blood Circle

Blood Circle is a Teutonic Ritual Level 1 spell which a player character may have in their grimoire.

Summary
The caster performs a ritual to create a protective circle around herself, sacrificing a portion of their own health in the process.

Description
The devout Protestant Heinrich Kramer drew upon his Teutonic heritage to create this powerful protection ritual, and recorded it for posterity in his famous book. By consecrating the circle with his own blood, the caster invokes an unnatural force to resist almost any physical assault.
