Cool Bloodhunting Idea

A lot of blood summons are ineffective because they require high blood levels, or at least level 2, to summon a measly single unit. What if there were MESSY SUMMONS? Meaning any blood mage could do a summon 1 level above his reach, at a cost of 50% more slaves... or else, any blood mage could do a summon with double the effects, for triple the slaves. Then, things like Bind Spine Demon, Bind Devil, and Bind Fiend might become practical... and level-1 blood mages might find a use beyond hunting!

Seems slightly redundant to me. There are several items which increase blood power, and empowering from Blood 1 to Blood 2 is cheap - in each case, it's essentially a matter of spending a bit more blood to increase your capacity to summon, which is about the same thing. Which shows your suggestion wouldn't be unbalancing, but I don't think it's really needed, since you can already turn a blood-1 mage into a blood-2 mage pretty easily with extra blood. I'd say the demons you mentioned are worth the time and blood - they are quite capable, especially once you get a group of them together.
