Blood 1 means empowering to Blood 3 only costs 75 slaves, not 125 slaves, as if you had no blood magic. However, if you want to play seriously with blood, I suggest you take Blood-3 on your god so you can forge Blood Thorns and Brazen Skulls before you have 75 slaves for empowerment... and be sure to hoard Earth gems so your dwarves can forge Dwarven Hammers.
Vanheim's blood-Users also get randoms, so blood-2 is a possibility if you make lots of mages.
For units that only have blood-1... in combat, I use them to summon imps. But for any powerful mages casting lots of spells, a blood pick is useful for reinvigoration (except that spell is broken right now).

Keep in mind that a Blood-1 mage can cast Blood-2 combat spells with an extra slave... just make sure he starts with at least 2 slaves, and specifically script the spell.
