Theory About Blood Magick

I have a question that is like a theory, but am not sure of others take on it so I shall ask.

Blood magick when using it some believe that you are actually putting a bit of your own self in the spell thus your life force or a part of it.

Now my question, pertaining to specifically blood magick by using it repeatedly after a period of time would you say that it can start wearing your physical body to the point where it degrades it?

I'm not saying I believe this myself it is just an interesting thought that came across my mind and am curious of others thoughts.

Ok first a question of my own what is with all you interested in these semi suicidal ways of magic.
Well lets start with giving away bits of your life so spell works yes it does happen but in such small amounts that you should be more concerned with any possible infection a practitioner of this path can encounter.
As for deterioration of ones physical body is concerned no, only risk there are formation of scars due to constant damage ones body would sustain every time a price in blood is paid.

Um semi suicidal? I take offense to that comment as it is not such. It is a form of magick that I find most effective and a scar is dependent on how deep you cut yourself. If you just prick your finger you will not really get a scar.

I believe that it does put a little more of yourself into it, but I don't think it wears down your body or is suicidal at all. Your blood does regenerate itself (you know, biology and all), so it shouldn't drain you if you use just a little blood in a lot of things over a long period of time. It would of course wear your body out, if you did more than just a little finger prick and left huge scars or it might if you have some sort of blood-related illness.

I practice blood magick and my body regenerates itself.

my apologies if any part of my comment was insulting in any way its just that just like necromancy, blood magic is also... lets use term unstable and considering that I had both misfortune with necromancy as well as a fact that I am rather repulsed by the idea of using ones blood. So again I`m sorry if I insulted anyone.

If it is wearing you down then you are not using it correctly. Follow your instincts and use your intuition.

Your body is not going to break down and corrode from the loss of some blood, unless it's like... 4 gallons of blood lost, you know.

Bone marrow produces new blood cells. What you lose will be replaced. Unless you have aplastic anemia. In which case, it would be a dim decision.
