		Aw, come on, who can top: 
 
Banish to Inferno, Life for a Life, Leech, Hellbind Heart, Bloodletting, Blood Vengence, more unique summons than all other paths combined, some of the best troop summons, ability to form a sabbath, rejuvination (youth boots), Hoard from Hell, Rain of Toads, Infernal Disease, blood stones, robe of the magi, blood thorn, Astral Corruption....oh, and did I mention cheap blood slaves?

		 None of the above. While certainly some paths are stronger than others, all paths have at least a viable strategy to pursue. 
 
 And typically the race's weakness in magic paths can be alleviated to some degree by a wise pretender selection. 
 
 Blood is a powerful magic, but i avoid it if at possible because while i like micromanagement with setting up battles, I find maintaining a blood slave trade to be boring.

		Blood's my favorite. Definitely not the most versatile, but fun non-the-less (unless you hate the micromanagement aspect of it...understandable) 
 
The Blood must flow.

		I like blood, not for the combat spells, but because I always was a bit satanic at heart, and it lets me summon all sorts of nasty demons from the underworld and all that. Plus, I love the heartseeker axe
