On the subject of using blood battlefield spells:
It is certainly possible to cast one blood spell without either blood hunting or researching blood magic, and that would be 'Bleed'.
I was assuming that it is legal to cast Bleed since it does not violate the rules as stated so clearly in Wraithlord's above post. In fact, I just happen to have a mage set up to do exactly that if needed. I got an event where I received 16 blood slaves and I also happen to have a sauromancer with the random blood school.
So - is Bleed legal or not? (Not that this is a game turning spell
)
I did offer to trade my free slaves to Folket for gems, but he declined to do so.
I agree that the rules were clearly stated in that the sole use of the 3 blood slaves per turn for Mictlan was to spread dominion in order to avoid the quick dominion death.
