I'm with Gavin. Blessings don't have to be balanced in parallel, and trying to do so would make things more bland. High blood magic has its own rewards besides the level-9 bless effect. For example, Blood spells tend to require a ton of fatigue, so dividing it down with a high level (and making the effects harder to resist too) makes the pretender potentially very wicked on the battlefield.
Though, here's an idea - what if it were a chance that the killer sometimes got horror marked instead of cursed? This would fit blood magic, and be somewhat more ominous.

So it makes some sense that the blessing effect of the school is less powerful than those of some other shools. You don't want one school to have so many advantages as to overpower any other school, and balancing these sorts of issues is what the dynamic duo seem to do best.
