About this mod
Rewrites the talent names and descriptions of the ABM mod, while also providing an optional .dazip for the original mod since both issues made it unplayable.
- Permissions and credits
The mod Ancient Blood Magic was reuploaded in 2012 in its original unfinished state and eyesore ingame descriptions, while the modpage itself has a completely wrong description of the mod. This patch aims to fix the textual aspects, not any other gameplay aspect since source files are unavailable.
This patch offers gramatically, syntactically and syntagmatically correct talent descriptions that fit the wider textual framework of the game, including adjustments and new names for more lore friendliness of the expanded Blood Magic specialization.*
*It follows Bioware's methodology: names have no more than two words (not counting prepositions), are simple; words across names do not repeat and talent descriptions are more descriptive than mathematical
The optional file includes a .dazip of the original mod so you can install the mod without losing mind, as well as a .dazip for Awakening.

New original mod description
Spoiler:
Ancient Blood Magic adds a new talent tree for all mages with the Blood Mage specialization, calledAncient Blood Magic Mastery of Blood Magic.
It includes two new activated spells: Blood Drain (identical to Drain Life except no Blood Magic healing penalty) and Blood Strike (similar to Stonefist but with a chance for Walking Bomb explosion on target death), both dealing spirit damage.
These two spells require a new sustained spell,Void Connection Blood Tap (identical to Death Magic but without the healing penalty as above). This spell also automatically and permanently unlocks the above two spells, but requires Blood Magic to be active.
There is another talent tree branch that includes four new passive talents that improve Blood Drain and Blood Strike.
Likewise, the tree includes some technical talents for resetting the mod and toggling visual effects.
The mod is compatible with Dragon Age Reborn. It should be compatible with mods that change talents, spells and specializations other than the Blood Mage specialization (even though it may be compatible with those, too).
If you are looking for a similar quality mod for a different specialization, the whole of Nexus offers only Arcane Warrior - Plus
