Riot Of The Blood

Created by Mataali

A forbidden incantation whispered only by blood mages during the rare celestial alignment of a Blood Moon, Riot of the Blood represents the ultimate sacrifice of reason for raw power. When invoked, the caster's mind fractures into primal fury as their physical form becomes infused with supernatural strength rivaling that of the undead elite. This devastating enhancement comes at a catastrophic price: the mage loses all capacity for discernment, attacking every living creature within reach without regard for ally or enemy. Survival beyond the spell's duration is uncommon, and those few who endure the experience are often left psychologically shattered, their sanity permanently scarred by the ordeal. The vampire aristocracy particularly disdains this technique, viewing it as a shameful descent into bestial barbarism that contradicts their self-perceived superiority and refinement. Most practitioners resort to Riot of the Blood only when faced with absolute annihilation, accepting nearly certain death as the price of one final, overwhelming assault. The trauma inflicted upon those who live through its effects typically ensures they never dare channel such power again.
