If I go by RPG authenticity rules and looking back at old and new RPGs, Blood Magic or Dark Magic has always been considered far more powerful, given that you pay with Life/your own blood to draw power from the dark realms and amplify your magic.

Given that theme, it'd only feel appropriate for spells that spend Life instead of Mana to deal more damage.

Let's say, something along the lines of 10-20% more or 30% increased damage. That'd be stackable with Pain Attunement, but casting with Life when already on Low Life can be a challenge, though not impossible. So, one gotta find the balance between that.

If anything, I like the idea of it. Although this is usually something you find in normal RPGs.
