The Blood
<br />
Line 7:
Starting Blood Magic requires several other mods to be progressed:
*
* [[Thaumcraft]] will need to be progressed far enough to access the Arcane Workbench, and will require multiple low-
* [[Witchery]] will need to be progressed far enough to access the Attuned Stone.

== Crafting the Altar ==
The Blood Magic altar can be initially crafted as a single block, which acts as Tier 1. This most basic form of the altar can be crafted using the recipe below. Once made, it only needs to be placed without any other dependent blocks to start using it. Higher tier Blood Altars will need a larger multiblock structure.

The list of items in the recipe are as follows, with their requirements:
* Attuned Stone - Requires introductory Witchery or access to a Witches Oven.
* Arcane Stone Bricks (x2) - Requires MV power for the Precision Laser Engraver and a red hue [[Lens]].
* Double Compressed Cobblestone(x2) - Requires [[MV]]
* Crucible - Requires introductory Thaumcraft
* Pulsating Crystal - Requires an [[EBF]] at MV power
* Alchemical Furnace - Requires introductory Thaumcraft
== Upgrading the Altar ==
If you have been progressing through the Blood Magic quests, you will have already made a Weak Blood Orb and some blank slates. If you do not recall how to make these, or have not yet, refer back to the quest book. Now, the primary way of upgrading the altar is through the use of Runes. At first, the most basic rune, the Blood Rune, do not offer any meaningful upgrades to the altar other than the tier of the altar. However, you will be able to follow through the quest line to make new Runes that do give you bonuses to your altar.

=== Building the Tier 2 Altar ===
Creating the blood runes is fairly easy, and will not require any further progression from the previous tier of altar. The recipe for the blood rune is as follows:<br />
[[File:Blood Altar Rune.jpg|center|frameless]]
This only requires 1152L of Wet Concrete, made in an LV mixer, and the previous slates and orb that you have already made. You will need 8 runes for your first altar upgrade. The first altar upgrade will consist of simply creating a ring around the base altar structure. Going forward, all of your altar upgrades will require Blood Runes, as well as occasionally some new items. Each section following this will focus on the structure itself, and any new items.

== Tier 3 Altar ==
The Tier 3 altar adds in a new structure to your altar -- The pillars. These pillars are created with new materials, which will be overviewed below as well as the basic structure. At this point, your structure will reach a total size of 7x7x4(WxLxH). The pillars that you will be creating are going to have a Blood-Soaked Thaumium base with a Glowstone top. This tier of Blood Magic will not require any new requirements over the previous -- Just access to some Glowstone and a lot of Thaumium Ingots.

* You will want to have progressed far enough to make a significant amount of void seeds and turn them into void ingots. This can be a tedious process if you have not set-up a Thaumcraft infrastructure to handle essentia yet.
* You will also need to have the ability to complete the binding ritual using Blood Magic's Ritual system. This binding ritual is needed to get access to a bound blade which is then used on mobs to get access to the weak blood shards from Blood Magic to create the Bloodstone Bricks (Process explained below). You may be able to bypass this requirement if you are able to get weak blood shards via a different method(Weakness II splash potion affected mobs may drop the item. (Not yet tested in most recent version).

== Tier 6 Altar ==
This is the final tier of altar for Blood Magic in GTNH as of the time of writing. This also contains the largest jump required so far, requiring some fairly substantial upgrades. This will take quite a few more nether stars, and some dangerous infusions. It requires the [[Convocation of the Damned]] ritual to obtain some key crafting ingredients.
=== Requirements ===
* Ichorium Ingots take nether stars + dangerous infusions. The recipe themselves is not that difficult, but requires a significantly upgraded wand. You will need a wand that can hold 100 Vis with significant vis% discounts, or you will need a wand or scepter that can hold 125 vis. In my opinion, this is not something that you will mess with until late EV or early IV, as you will need tungstensteel screws for most of the wands that can hold the amount of Vis that you require.
* You will need to be sufficiently far into [[Twilight Forest]] to make one of the wands above.
* You will need to have completed the ritual '[[Convocation of the Damned]]' for the soul crystals required.
* To make blocks of Ichorium cheaper you will need to have access to Mytryl which can be found as a small ore on some

== Tips and Tricks ==
Getting life essence for all the required crafts is a difficult undertaking with almost all recipes requiring multiple times more LP then base Blood Magic. We suggest using a mixture of different
* Using any regeneration effects from the tier you are currently in if using the self-sacrifice method (Need to add a list and its relevent tier)
* Using a mob spawners if using the sacrificial dagger allows for quicker blood collection then the self-sacrifice method. As if any mob is hit with the sacrificial dagger within a short range of the altar block (Possible 5-6 blocks *Testing required) it will insta-kill it regardless of health and almost all mob variants, internals included( Be aware that it does not kill baby zombies). Also works a manual hostile mob farm if you collect the drops.
* Once you are [[EV]] tier the use of the [[Extreme
* When progressing through the tiers of blood altars, always attempt to use the
