Bloodbrewing

"Bloodbrewing/ Blood Brewing" refers to the study and practice of mixing Blood (preferably that of a Magical specifies) with other Spell ingredients so as to create Casting Potions.

Though considered garish and barbaric by some Blood is an excellent Potion ingredient due to both it's Symbolic and Practical Power.

Correlation with Vampirism
Since the popularity of Blood Brewing has spread there has been a noticeable rise in cases of Vampirism. While for some this is due to an already depraved or violent individual developing a taste for fresh blood, a strong link has been found between frequent use and the onset of true Vampirism. Accordingly many restrictions exist on both the composition and use of Blood Potions.
