Blood 9 - Death Curse?

Blood Vengence, maybe Blood Vengence ( -1 / -2 ) would be nice. A little more thematic.

Oh, and powerful.

I would start considering Blood-9 blessing to be in the league as Water-9, Fire-9, and Nature-9.

Of course that still leaves Death, Air, Earth, and Astral as less potent blesses. However I don't mind that too much as each of these paths are widely considered excellent magic paths. Note: in some cases Earth-9 can be quite good.

Astral-9 can be excellent if you're talking about a lot of small sacred troops instead of a sacred supercombatant. I'm playing Marignon with 9-Fire, 9-Astral Baphomet, and the cheapie flagellants benefit a great deal from the astral-9 blessing. It keeps them alive long enough to deliver two solid whacks with their flaming flails, which is all that I ask of them.

Blood Curse and Immortality can be a fun combo. Flagellants also make good "carriers" for Blood Curses since they get killed easily, and thus deliver their "payload" easily. It can be satisfyingly evil to have them do an end run towards the rear units.

Blood9 blessing gave blood vengeance once upon a time, it was ridicously powerfull.

I bet. But do you think that Blood Vengeance (-4) would be good? Or (-5)? Or (-6)? I think that could be feasible, and I think the "flavor" or "thematic" passing would be great.

In Dominions 3 Lifedrain has been seperated Health from Fatigue so, I'm sure in Dom3 that some version of Life Drain would be appropriate to such a high blessing. Though Blessings, in general, need to be reworked.

Also in Dominions 3, with Themes being their own seperate nations there will be many more viable nation/themes with more widespread decent sacreds, to bless.
