NO LONGER RECIEVING UPDATES

Benvolent Magic: Magic for the Good Guys!

Explore The Wonderful World Of Blood Magic!

This mod is all about 'using' others for your own benefit! It features a tiny bit of progression that requires sacrifice and a few rituals that are powered by blood!

Submarine going too slow? stab your friends to push the sub forward! (ramming into walls is your fault!)

Round not hard enough? summon a veritable swarm of enemies and try to survive!

Slightly damaged walls in difficult to reach spots? the blood of the innocent will fix it!

A Custom Fabricator

There is a custom fabricator for this mod! So no more digging through menus to find some obscure modded item and then monopolising the communal fabricator! It is called "A Slightly Bloody Table"

Ritual Circles!

As mentioned, this mod features rituals! Ritual circles are a placable object that must contain certain objects in order to work: Catalysts (objects that are not consumed) and Consumables (objects that are consumed on ritual use).

There is also a special circle called the "Sacrificial Circle" in order for it to do things, you need to kill things infront of it. It is used to progress through the blood types and to charge a specific item.

Items!

In addition to rituals, this mod also contains a variety of items. From the humble bloodknife used to obtain your first blood 'donations' to a fireball wand to the Staff of Eternal Torment that fires a deathbeam powered by 'willing' sacrifices.

How To Get Started:

Step 1: Build A Slightly Bloody Table

Step 2: Make some Alien blood reagent and a sacrificial circle

Step 3: Put Reagent in sacrificial circe and sacrifice someone infront of it

Step 4: Make a Blood Knife and stab some humans to get their blood

Step 5: Explore the rest of the mod and Profit!

Requires Lua

This mod needs lua, either serverside or clientside. That means this mod will work both in multiplayer and singleplayer so long as you have lua running.

Feel free to use the any of the code of this mod for your own creations!

Reviews by fellow blood cultists :) A recently homeless clown: Finally, a legitimate reason to stab my friends! Now I wont get thrown out an airlock again! Some terrorist dude: The hostages are now extra useful! Random Coalition citizen Nr.4: That sounds highly illegal! i'm getting sec-Urk! ......... (willing sacrifice sounds)
