It is finaly time to do the list for abilities and spells of Vladimir, the Crimson Reaper, the master hemomancer. Without further introduction, let's begin.

PHYSICAL ABILITIES

Appearence transformation Vladimir can change his appearence with a ritual when he needs to change his identity and dissapear from the records of history.

Nothing else to say here, much like Ryze, almost all of Vladimir's power comes from his magical abilities.

MAGICAL ABILITIES AND SPELLS Vladimir consumed his master's, a Darkin, blood magic power, after he struck the final blow to kill him.

Unknown to all but Vladimir himself, it was he who struck the killing blow. Scarred, blinded, driven mad by the radiance of a darkin’s undoing, he absorbed enough power to renew flesh that was never meant to last beyond a mortal lifespan. And he has done this countless times since, through rituals too vile to speak of.

Blood magic grants him more spells than just blood manipulation tho.

Blood manipulation Vladimir can control blood waterbending style, to shoot waves at his enemies and kill them with the impact, or slice them around him with tides of blood (like his in-game E) like a shockwave.

Blood drain Vladimir can drain the blood out of his foes, killing them. This is basically a hax against opponents with normal blood in them that don't know how to defend against Blood Magic.

while in the lowest back alleys, it allows him to bleed his enemies dry.

Mind control Hemomancy is a pathway to many abilities, some may consider to be... unnatural. Vladimir's mastery over blood magic is so great, he can control other people's body and mind as easly as his own.

In addition to unnaturally extending his life, his mastery of hemomancy allows him to control the minds and bodies of others as easily as his own.

Transforming into a blood pool Vladimir can turn himself into a blood pool to avoid being damaged by an incoming projectile. This is also a hax, because unless his enemies can freeze or burn the blood, Vladimir simply cannot die. Vladimir did that in Sion's teaser.

Blood magic rituals Vladimir is able to perform blood magic rituals, capable of ressurecting the dead ones, at the cost of sacrificing human lives, as seen in Sion's teaser.

Blood magic shields Blood magic is capable of creating shields too, as seen in Varus's comic, where a much weaker than Vlad blood mage blocks Varus's magic projectiles fired from his bow. Vladimir is 100% capable of blocking more powerfull attacks.

Flesh manipulation Blood magic also allows for the user to transform his own flesh, as well as others. Vladimir is capable of doing that after absoring the Blood magic power of his master.

Scarred, blinded, driven mad by the radiance of a darkin’s undoing, he absorbed enough power to renew flesh that was never meant to last beyond a mortal lifespan.

Vladimir is also capable of making butterflies with his blood magic, as seen in his color story.

Blood poisoning Vladimir can also poison the blood of his enemies with his spells. The main indication we have of him doing that is his in-game ability, but knowing how powerfull Vladimir is with his hemomancy in-lore I'm pretty sure he can also do that.

Boiling blood Ok this one is kind of a stretch, and Im basing this on Vladimir's mastery over hemomancy, but I think he might be capable of boling the blood inside someone's veins (like a curse).

So that was it. Tell me your thoughts, questions and feed back bellow, as well as who would you like me to make a list about. And if you liked it, check other lists (aka the one with Ryze, Nasus and Xerath).

A couple aren't shown or referenced in-lore but a fair list nonetheless if you take gameplay abilities as a given.

I don't think he specifically uses blood magic to create the butterflies, it sounds like he breeds them.

Vlad also has some kind of resurrection abilities considering him and his pals brought Sion back to life in his teaser.
