Cursed Bloodline
The Cursed Bloodline twists the art of blood magic into a dance with malevolent forces, allowing Sanguimancers to weave curses and dark enchantments into their spells. Wielding the tangled threads of misfortune, they impose curses on their enemies, turning their own life force into a potent weapon of hexes and maladies. Blood CurseAt 3rd level, As an action, you can spend 2 blood points to inflict a blood curse on a creature you can see within 30 feet. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC or be cursed for one minute. While cursed, the creature has disadvantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. It may attempt to break the curse at the end of each of its turns with a Constitution saving throw. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1), and you regain expended uses after completing a short or long rest. Malediction
At 7th level, your blood curses become more potent. When you use your Blood Curse, you can now choose one additional effect to apply to the cursed creature for as long as they remain cursed. The additional effects are:

At 15th level, your connection to curses deepens. When you use your Blood Curse, you can now affect all creatures of your choice within a 30-foot radius of the target. Each affected creature must make a separate Constitution saving throw or be cursed as well. You expend 2 blood points for each additional creature you choose. Blighted Reckoning
