Dangers of Unknown Venture

"Blood Sacrifice: Zeroth Moon," I mutter as I start running even faster than before. I wasn't going to use it earlier for Hygeia's sake, but after conversing with her, I guess I could try using it and see where it goes from there onwards.

Hygeia looks at me for a few moments without uttering anything. She just sits there and observes me and then finally chants something in an unknown language before a calm and cool sensation engulfs my body. While I was still using Blood magic, it didn't feel like it was the same thing at all.

The difference between before and after the chant was apparent; before it felt like my body was on fire from the inside which was constantly draining my powers and after it that sensation had completely vanished. I guess Hygeia used her powers to heal me up to an extent where the side effects of using Blood Sacrifice are reduced to zero.
