Ability Blood Control
Type:	Blood Mage
Effect type:	Activated
Range:	Medium
Activation:	40
Cooldown:	40s
Requires:	16
Description:	The blood mage forcibly controls the target’s blood, making the target an ally of the caster unless it passes a mental resistance check. If the target resists, it still takes great damage from the manipulation of its blood. Creatures without blood are immune.

Blood Control is a mage spell from the Blood Mage specialization in Dragon Age: Origins.

Information Edit

• Spirit Damage (over time): 100.0 + Spellpower. If a target fails mental resistance check vs. the attacker's spellpower, it becomes the caster's ally for 20.0 * (Target Rank Duration Modifier) sec.
• Range: 25m.
• Conjuration time: 1s.
• In addition to damage-based Threat, 100 Threat is drawn from the target.

Notes Edit

• Requires active ability: Blood Magic.
• Activation base is in Health and values vary with fatigue%.
• Spirit Damage values are displayed in the game as the color: Purple.
• Arcane Warrior Spellcasting: The spell can be cast with your weapon(s) drawn.
• Using this spell on the last standing enemy counts as ending a battle, allowing you to save and do things you couldn't do in battle if need be.
• No XP is granted if a charmed enemy dies, nor is any XP granted if the charmed enemy directly kills a former ally. Walking Bomb or Virulent Walking Bomb cast prior to Blood Control will still result in experience if the explosion kills an enemy.

Bugs Edit

Bug! This spell is bugged. If resisted, there is no damage over time component. If it is successful, the target is both charmed and takes damage over time. No damage numbers appear, but a blue burst animation plays and health goes down.
