voidal magic did this no one bats an eye

No, people have been batting an eye but they just aren't making a fuss about it on the forums. I haven't particularly heard anything - and I do mean anything - good about the voidal re-writes.

Real talk on this piece, I think the ritual to learn a slot 2 is too high cost and annoying with [3] people. Trying to get [3] people together is a pain, and BM is the ONLY magic which has a timed PK clause which means all that time you waste trying to get people to actually co-operate with you is more impactful and actually matters. Having it done with maybe just your teacher makes more sense. 

BM is also famously scattered for its general teaching comprehensiveness. By this, I mean that due to having to learn every spell and having it listed as a comment makes this magic uniquely nerfed in that not every teach knows every spell and finding someone with every spell can be a pain. So, having it be knowing every spell is perhaps a little weird with how tightly controlled BM is. It's probably more likely to encourage people to meta-game rather than just develop naturally.

I agree that Embark should be slot 2 - but it already is.

I would have thought that call calamity would be in here as requiring at least 1 [2] slot BM but... it's not. It's already so rare to see it done that maybe its not worth it.

Hail being 2Slot - sure. Gives a more ritual vibe ig.
 

Subverse looks to be new but also appears to be equivalent to most other very basic T1 manipulations of your element. Why this would be 2 Slot I have no idea, other than it just being new. I would suggest to get this passed separately as a Slot 1 thing to match the rest of the server.

Massed is fine. Doesn't seem to fit the ritualistic vibe or identity of Slot 2. I have no idea what the identity of slot 2 is from this, but it seems like a useful addition and more suited to more advanced mastery.

Final thoughts: I think imo the original intent was to have slot 2 be more big, impressive rituals which is what the original write achieved. It just so happens that there weren't many spells. This is solved by getitng more big BM rituals passed for Slot 2, rather than a re-write. This is fine but seems more muddled and I don't think it actually achieved what you wanted it to achieve.

I would have added more spells but i wrote this by myself, creating new rituals was not something i think bloodmagic needed because the ones listed are already fine, the point of this was to give them a reason to be 2 slot, i am aware that BM as a whole needs a fix but i wanted 2 try sum out on the hopes of fixing it for now
