You may notice none of the current blood spells are useable underwater, and bloodslaves become gems instead of units when in an underwater battle and can't be accessed for casting.

I dont get why this doesnt work. Just imagine if you will, a blood mage, floating in the deep ocean, over an altar. He sacrifices the mermaid, and is suddenly literally swimming in blood, the magical energy of the blood is surrounding him. i feel like that's almost *more* effective cause he is swimming in blood, not just standing over it.

Thanks Priestly, that's exactly the idea behind the national pretender and the level 7 summon - swirling pools of sacrificial blood.

You can't use blood magic in UW battles, but by the time you've got your blood economy going you'll probably have a fairly strong hold on the oceans anyway.

Your point earlier about too strong early and too weak on land is fair though. I'm thinking about adding some more high-level national spells. Probably a farsummon and a stygian paths equivalent. I also agree with squirreloid about differentiating some more from MA.
