Current Version: 1.8

See Patch Notes below for details.

Recommended Mods alongside BoA:
 - Sacrosanct (There's synergy with this mod that isn't quite obvious, yet is kind of a game changer all its own.)
 - Vampyrium (An expansion to vampirism.  This is designed to work with the other
vampire mods, however is still a work in progress.  So far, Sacrosanct
works with Vampyrium on my end, but results may vary.  Read the mod page
for more information.)
 - Better Vampires
 - Perkus Maximus
 - Coldhaven
 - Dawnguard as a Vampire (Cause we're good people...who don't eat people...right?)

What This Mod Does:
Makes it so that you can create potions of blood from animals, instead of killing humans.  Additionally adds three spells to the game.  Further details below.

Goal:
Create an impactful mod through minimalist means.

Summary:
BoA allows you through various means to turn the meat of animals into concentrated blood. You can also empower your potions of blood into enhanced versions for greater effect.  Lastly, there are a few transmutation spells that allow you to convert soul gems, animal blood, and potions of blood into various other items.

Spells:
 - Sanguine Tribute: Infuse a potion of blood, and drink it to restore even greater health.
 - Sanguine Protection: Infuse a potion of blood, and enhance your vampiric skin for a short duration. (Basically, an oh **** button)
 - Soul Scar: Inflicts 15 damage per second for 5 seconds, 25% Weakness to Magic for 5 seconds, and a 5 second Soul Trap
 - Transmute Blood: Sacrifice a portion of your health, and animal blood to create a Potion of Blood
 - Transmute Soul Gem: Transmutes Potions of Blood, Bone Meal and various other ingredients into Petty and higher grade soul gems.

Petty = Potion of Blood + Bone Meal
Lesser = Potion of Blood + Bone Meal + Petty Soul Gem
Common = Potion of Blood + Bone Meal + Lesser Soul Gem
Greater = Potion of Blood + Bone Meal + Common Soul Gem + Nirnroot
Grand = Potion of Blood + Bone Meal + Greater Soul Gem + Nirnroot

 - Transmute Herbs: Sacrifice a portion of your health and rare herbs to create a Potion of Blood

In order for this spell to function, you need a combination of the following ingredients:
1 Blue Mountain Flower, 1 Wheat, 1 Crimson Nirnroot
1 Blue Mountain Flower or 1 Wheat, 2 Blisterwort, 1 Crimson Nirnroot
2 Swamp Fungal Pods, 2 Imp Stool, 1 Crimson Nirnroot

Note: Yes, Crimson Nirnroot is necessary.  You know where to get it.  I give you this spell, but that doesn't mean I'm going to make it easy.  Blood is the most convenient.  Animal blood is an alternative, but comes at a cost (the debuff and all).  Making blood out of herbs?  That's neither lore friendly, nor is it anywhere near fantasy norms.  As such, you're going to need to venture through some dark places to do it.

The above spells can be bought from the only vampiric mage I know of who lives alongside society, and no one really minds.  Technically, the couple at the lumber mill by Falkreath count, but no, they are not the chosen ones for this mod.  Otherwise, you can obtain them from the in-game additem command.

Compatibility:
 - Works with anything as far as I know.

Installation:
 - Simply download and install.

Feedback and suggestions are absolutely welcome!
