Tbf Vlad didn't invent blood magic so it having been given to humans by Darkin doesn't really change much. I'd think you would be more concerned by the fact that there are so many blood mages in Noxus. How special is Vlad now?

Okay the cogs in my head are spinning at blinding speeds:

  • Vlad's mountain escape hasn't been retconned.

  • He met one of the Darkin at the time before Noxus in a temple in the mountains

  • He went on to master blood magic and become the father of this tradition among the Noxians

Mind = Blown

EDIT: So was the darkin Aatrox or the Sister?

EDIT2: Tbh I am neutral to the idea of Blood Magic having Darkin origins. Let's see how they spin it.

I mean, it makes some level of sense. But imo Darkin blood magic is more raw power like Sol. Vlad is probably much more refined.

I mean... Did you read Aatrox abilities? Blood Well that allows him to regenerate, Blood Price/Thirst that enhancing his sword And last but not least: Massacre.

Aatrox draws in the blood of his foes, damaging all nearby enemy champions around him and gaining increased Attack Speed and bonus Attack Range for a short duration.
