re: the change to Sabbath
I understand the logic of what you're saying, and its certainly not an earth-shaking change. The only problem I have with it is thematic; the use of Blood magic should always require the sacrifice of slaves - this is exactly what makes Blood what it is, and makes it different from the other paths of magic.
On the other hand, even when I'm playing a Blood nation, I never bother trying to use Blood magic of any kind on the battlefield, since none of it seems that effective anyway, and managing the slaves is a nightmare.

Ah-ha! Yes, indeed it would not have much effect on Blood Magic, because yes, I would like it to keep the "blood for blood" theme. But what it would do is allow you to build a Sabbath and cast other Paths in a semi-communion.
Maybe that you've never even tried using it, means something.
Or it could just be that your lack of imagination has gotten the better of you!
P.S. The aspect that grates me is the micromanagement, not really making Mictlan into a magical Battlefield casting powerhouse (though that would be a side effect).
