|detail = This ability is passive.
Blood and spirit are inextricably intertwined, and while drawing on your spirit in the form of your
life's blood grants great power, it also carries a significant cost. As you deplete your lifeforce,
you will become less controlled and more feral in strength. However this also leaves you
susceptible to certain dangers.
The following is a list of attributes you will develop the less lifeforce you have:
- Major weakness to fire damage as your comfort with the sacred flame diminishes
- Resistance to cold damage
- Resistance to asphyixation damage
- Resistance to poison damage
- Resistance to electric damage
- Reduced intelligence
- Additional strength
Additionally, you will no longer suffer the effects of less natural healing that applies when you
have lost blood. You can read HELP BLOOD for more information.

Details: This ability is passive.

Blood and spirit are inextricably intertwined, and while drawing on your spirit in the form of your life's blood grants great power, it also carries a significant cost. As you deplete your lifeforce, you will become less controlled and more feral in strength. However this also leaves you susceptible to certain dangers.

The following is a list of attributes you will develop the less lifeforce you have:

- Major weakness to fire damage as your comfort with the sacred flame diminishes
- Resistance to cold damage
- Resistance to asphyixation damage
- Resistance to poison damage
- Resistance to electric damage
- Reduced intelligence
- Additional strength

Additionally, you will no longer suffer the effects of less natural healing that applies when you have lost blood. You can read HELP BLOOD for more information.
