Blood Alchemy

Blood Alchemy is a specific branch of alchemy that makes use of aether focused and contained in biological matter from living sources. Some forms of Blood alchemy are fairly benign - simply using blood as a vessel for aether from a host is not inherently dangerous or harmful to the source (and many summoning contracts and alchemical methods use this form of blood alchemy), but more advanced version often require the death of the host in order to crystalize a significant amount of aether into the blood or removed organs.

Blood alchemy is commonly practiced in varying levels in Nexus: both in summoning mechanics and in their alchemy.
