Discussion

Issue
Seriously underpowered, but dangerous to buff because it will revive Bspike, which was why it was nerfed in the first place. Probably just needs a rework.
Suggestion
5e 1c 2r "Steal 10...34...40 health. If that foe was suffering from Weakness, you gain 1...3...4 energy.

Issue
One of the more fun blood magic skills, but it's way too conditional to use properly.
Suggestion
Spell. Deals 10...34...40 damage to target and adjacent foes. Steals 1...12...15 Health every second (4 seconds) from foes that are above 50% Health or Weakened.

Probably not perfectly balanced, but the gradual lifesteal would be impossible to spike with to please everyone who hates bspike :P

Issue
This skill currently has too many hoops to jump through in order to get it working optimally. Reducing these and making the effect less damage oriented allows it to cast and recharge faster. The lower damage output doesn't make it a good B-Spike skill.
Suggestion

15 Energy1 Activation time7 Recharge time

Spell. Deals 5...41...50 damage to target and adjacent foes. Inflicts Weakness (5...17...20 seconds) on foes below 50% Health.
