At the 4th level or when you become cursed, You gain a cursed blood. Choose from the cursed blood choices. At every level you make a will save to control or lose to your curse. If you pass the save you stave off the effects of having your curse, but if you fail its power takes a toll on you. This blood choice also determines the damage type you deal when using cursed features (has no effect on spell damage type).

Mentions of 'feeling' or something similar in the following has no mechanical effect but is for role play purposes.

Choose one of the following:

• Blind Blood: Your blood is nigh transparent. The strength of it is 1d4 force and targets affected by it will feel hazy. Failing your will saving is causing you to lose your eyes and feeling that your perception is absolute. This causes -5 ft. to vision. You progressively ignore others insights more and more. You gain blindsight of 40 ft. The embodiment of your curse is feeling that nobody else has valuable insight and no longer being willing to see things other than how you see them.

• Blood of the Feared: Your blood is light and full of greed. The strength of your blood is 1d8 piercing and those who are afflicted by it feel dread and sorrow greater. Failing your will save will cause you to create dread and pain in others.

• Blood of the Abysswalker: Your blood is a deep purple like the shadows in the abyss. Your strength is 1d6 necrotic and making those affected feel sorrow and like they have lost things. Failing your will save causes you to grow in hate and want to attack before talking. You slowly grow absolute in your sorrow and only love the few close to you, wishing to destroy everything else.

• Milen Blood: Your blood is very thick. Things summoned with your blood last twice as long and targets affected by it feel bloodlust for a very short period. Its strength is 1d6 bludgeoning. Failing your will save makes you more hungry for blood and eager to fight.

• Blood of the Vessel: Your blood becomes a place for an ancient. It begins to live within you and the blood you took from it. Your blood strength is 1d8 slashing.
