Bloody Thorn: Spell lvl 1 - Simplest blood magic spell in which the caster creates one or several long needle-like spikes in an attempt to impale a target.
Bloody Briar: Spell lvl 1 - Caster creates a mass of twisting thorn-covered blood vines. Spell can be used defensively by wrapping around the caster like a shield or armor or offensively by attempting to entangle an enemy in a painful snare.
Bloody Rose: Spell lvl 2 - Caster creates a rose made of blood which blooms as the spell is cast and then bursts, sending razor-sharp petals in all directions.
Bloody Rain: Spell lvl 3 - Caster sprays a large number of droplets into the air which then plummet to the earth as deadly needles, soaking the ground. Is often the precursor to Bloody Field.
Bloody Field: Spell lvl 3 - Caster creates a field of Bloody Roses and Bloody Thorns from a blood-soaked area of earth, saturating a space with deadly spikes and razor petals. 
Bloody Blossom: Spell lvl 4 - Caster injects blood into a target through physical attacks. After a short period of 'gestation' the blood then blossoms as a series of tiny flowers, rupturing the skin and internal organs of the target.

Weapon: Epinoc - A clawed gauntlet that is made of a rare silver alloy. It is heavily enchanted to be as light as cloth and yet strong enough to turn aside all but the sharpest blades. The claws on the fingers form into needle-like tips that can tear through flesh and lighter armors with relative ease and the wearer can use them to puncture his own palm, which is uncovered, if he closes his hand into a fist. 
Personality: Atticus is a cheerful, though shy, individual who typical enjoys being alone. He loves nature and flowers and often keeps several personal flower boxes which are filled with rare and beautiful specimens. As a mage he is extremely dedicated to studying his art and eliminating Dark Wizards.
History: Atticus was born in Crocus, the sprawling capital of Fiore, to a middle class flower merchant and his wife. Together, they owned and managed a fairly successful shop known for its beautiful strain of dark red roses. From the day Atticus was born he began learning all there is to know about flowers and their care. However, this all changed when the boy was 10 and a fight between several dark and legal mages broke out in the streets around the shop. The destruction was great before the dark wizards were brought down and both of Atticus's parents were killed in the collateral damage. He vowed revenge against the illegal magic users and as luck would have it, a local man who often frequented the shop offered to take the boy in and train him in the ways of blood magic. He had actually been suspicious of Atticus's magical potential after seeing him working with the roses, which frequently left many cuts in his hands. 

Atticus immediately accepted and came into a local mage guild as an apprentice. He would go with his master on several low-danger jobs and also spend many late hours studying magic and the guild system.

After many years of training, his mentor finally decided it was time for Atticus to continue learning out in the real world. Knowing that it was important a young mage choose his own guild and gain a wide breadth of experience, he suggested Atticus join a newer allied guild in Balefest.
