Blood Mage

Wizard Level 8

Background
You have learned to combine blood with arcane formulas to cast more powerful spells—your own blood. Your blood is your life, but it is also your source of power. Few wizards step upon this path to arcane mastery, because it is a path steeped in pain and soaked in blood. But you have embraced the way of blood and magic, and you have become more powerful because of it.   Paragon Path
This feature can be taken twice, with additional effects being granted on the second time it is taken.   First Level Features
Bolstering Blood: When you cast a spell that deals damage, as a free action and prior to using the ability, you can choose to roll either a 1d10 or 2d10. You immediately take psychic damage equal to the amount rolled, and any target hit by your spell is dealt additional psychic damage equal to that amount.   Second Level Features
Soul Burn: By spending hit dice, you can regain a spell slot equal to the number of hit dice spent. This can be done as a bonus action, and can be used one between each long rest. This cannot be used to regain a spell slot greater than 6th level.
