Originally crafted by an Undead necromancer whose excessively ravaged flesh offered no readily available source for the blood needed for his rituals, Bloodsoak allows its adepts to shed blood without breaking the skin. Those skilled in this art can pool their blood in their own cupped hands, cry tears of crimson, saturate their clothes, or literally sweat blood. The latter can cause a mortal practitioner to pass out if done to excess for more than a moment. Even those sorcerous Undead whose flesh was long ago robbed of evidence of vital fluids can still pull the substance of life from its deepest recesses up to the air. It should be noted that while the blood of a sorcerous Undead (such as a powerful necromancer or shadow lord) is dark dead stuff, it could still be used for most incantations; however some sorcerous Undead no longer have flesh in adequate condition to generate even that dark fluid. In addition to its utilitarian purposes, it looks really creepy.
