Blood Magus question

[Rudolph]

I've never played a BM but am considering the class for a gish build that can deal with the dispel bug fix.

Here is my question to all you experienced arcanists: Does the Bloodseeking Spell ability work with buffs? I.e. do the 2 CL get added when I cast Haste, Greater Heroism, etc. with the caster being the target? The description of the feat seems to imply they do get added and hence help with regard to dispellability...

The bloodseeking ability fuels your spells by using the targets blood. So it wont work when you cast the buffs on you but it will work when you cast the buffs on others ( unless the target is undead ).

In your case you wont be able to benefit from the +2CL when casting those buffs on you.

So you're saying my gish's blood is no good as fuel? Nooooooooooooo. There go my dreams of gishery.

Thanks for the clear and prompt reply.

At least blood component (+1 CL) works for buffing spells...
