Blood Mage ascendancy needs Cannibalised Faith from PoE1 Warlock of the Mists
Blood Mage is seriously lacking in life scaling mechanics.
Suggestion: Add the ascendancy "Cannibalised Faith" from PoE1's Warlock of the Mists ascendancy class to Blood Mage. For those of you who missed Affliction League or simply haven't played PoE1: "Cannibalised Faith: Spells you cast yourself gain Added Physical Damage equal to 75% of Life Cost, if Life Cost is not higher than the maximum you could spend"
Spoiler
![]() It could be added as the endcap to a new path straight down the middle behind a node that removes mana, but gives a nice bonus like "50% inc maximum life" or something else equally thematic. ALSO, something important to note: life costs interrupting life recharge from Eternal Youth makes it feel clunky. The archetype would feel a lot smoother with life costs NOT interrupting life recharge. Lastly, the first 2 ascendancy points being locked to only one node feels a bit awkward and adds an extra bit of limitations early on to an already underwhelming ascendancy.

I don't think it should be a new nose, the entire text should just be added on to Sanguimancy.
