How this build works
- Sanguimancy: Blood Mage's signature notable (verified: it's a Blood Mage node, NOT Lich) — your skills gain power from life spent. Spark's rapid low-cost casts trigger it constantly.
- Blood Magic: Main-tree keystone: no mana, all skill costs paid in life. This is what feeds Sanguimancy every single cast.
- Vitality Siphon: Blood Mage life-leech notable — your spell damage leeches life back, closing the loop on the life you spend to cast.
- Lifetap: Real PoE2 support (verified name) — supported skill costs life and gains a damage bonus. You were already paying life; this stacks a multiplier on top.
