My father used blood magic once, when my mother was pregnant with me, to be able to escape with us. He told her that he hoped their child would never have it. So a sick joke mixed with perhaps a genetic disposition I never fulfilled as a non-mage at home. This is not something Cassandra knows and it's something our family has kept quiet.
My mother was murdered by blood magic, grotesquely. I've seen good people go wrong with it. That's why more often than not they wind up dead.
