Utility

Blood Puppet – Animate a corpse by manipulating the blood within it like strings.
Blood Compass – Track a person so long as you have a drop of their blood.
Living Grail – Store health from others’ blood and use it to heal yourself later. I think this should be a blood absorption than to store because having a to keep track and you will need to have scaling with the amount consumed and the different types of blood as well, like will dragon blood restore more than goblin blood

Blood Branding – Brand someone with a sigil made of blood; track or command them remotely.
Bloodscribe – Use blood to write invisible magical messages only seen with Sanguine Sight. This should also make it possible to use this to make invisible magic scrolls

Crimson Rebirth – Sacrifice massive blood (or a life) to resurrect someone under specific conditions.

"What you ask for must be bought in blood... and soul."

Offensive

Thousand Veins – Cause multiple targets' veins to burst in synchrony, paralyzing them in agony. Very similar to Exsanguinate
Blood Plague – Unleash a contagion that spreads by blood, turning the living into berserkers. More sickness related than blood based maybe you could use anemia to drain their strength of the enemy
Crimson Dragon – Summon a serpentine beast made from the blood of the fallen.

Defensive

Immortal Coagulum – Prevent death once per day by binding your soul into a bloodstone. This is more soul magic than blood you could have it to where you drain the blood of an enemy equal to your max hp

Utility

Sanguine Dominion – Control the blood of any creature within sight; command limbs, paralyze hearts.
Rite of Shared Flesh – Two beings become linked; one feels what the other does in every way.

Ritual

Apotheosis of Blood – Permanently alters the caster, making their blood a source of power, madness, or even undeath.
The Scarlet Tithe – Sacrifice an entire village’s blood to open a portal to another realm or summon a powerful entity. I think instead of an entire village, it should be a great sacrifice that would be more impactful, and it leaves more to interpretation with the flavor text
