Neat! I can see using this more regularly in PvE now, and the messaging is even cooler. One thing that seems to be removed is the magnitude of success messaging, or am I remembering that incorrectly?
Additionally, just confirming this is working as intended -
Third person messaging -
NecroPerson gestures at a HaplessCreature.
Writhing black and red particles form around the HaplessCreature and pierce its body!
NecroPerson suddenly seems pained.
It seems like the caster, not the target 'suddenly seems pained'. Is that intended?
Additionally, when cast on you, it appears like this -
NecroPerson gestures at you.
Writhing black and red particles form around you and pierce your flesh!
You suddenly feel sick and painful, your blood burning molten within your veins!
Seems like it should be 'sick and pained'?
And finally, when attacked the proc messaging the victim sees -
The blood curse flares up, causng your injuries to burn with agony!
Emphasis mine. Should be 'causing'.

You're remembering incorrectly. Heighten Pain didn't have a magnitude of success message.

Just received the OK to talk about it. Devour is now a Heal Over Time spell, once cast it will pulse every few seconds, healing several wounds each pulse. I believe it targets the highest level wounds first, in all my casts I never had any major level of wounds to test on. As a note, its still in the tweaking phase.

Massive streams of viridian and copper leap from your outstretched hand, coalescing around the juvenile wyvern's body and exploiting the thanatological link. The streams flare a sanguine red, devouring the juvenile wyvern's corpse.

Maybe hurts should be another word - maybe simply injuries - it currently sounds a little sophomoric. I'm sure this is probably a place holder, I'm just wanting to bring it to attention if it's not.
A creature's face and head suddenly erupt with deep, gouging wounds that spray gibbets of flesh and rivers of blood everywhere. As the flurry of seemingly spontaneous wounds subsists, plenty of bone is visible amidst the tattered remnants of the creature

Saw this purposed in a necro group, what if there was a devour meta magic spell added that allowed you to cast devour as a offensive spell, transferring your wounds onto a living target! Perhaps at reduced effect per mana if deemed too strong?

I'd be against it on both lore and game balance grounds. Lore wise, the thanatological ritual is critically important to the transference link's functioning for Necromancers. Balance wise, I'm allergic to taking an iconic healing ability for the guild and adding murder to it. Healing wounds and murdering are worth independent investments of time and mana.

Mechanics wise, I see a pretty fundamental difference between a damage barrier and a healing spell. This could just be me, though.

Re: Blood Magic Messaging Updates

I've found what I hope is a bug. To preface this I assume that the more mana you can pump into the spell the more 'healing power' it has to deal with a greater degree/amount of wounds.
Bug: When cast upon a corpse at 50 mana I was seeing a 30 minute duration via PERC but the spell actually ends about 3 minutes after being cast whether it has expended any of its power healing wounds or not.
I got really excited when I noticed the long duration because I imagined myself casting Devour at the start of a hunt to have it clean up all the little scrapes you inevitably get, until it either used up all of its 'healing power' or the duration ended. But if it's only meant to last 3 or so minutes then that greatly reduces its usefulness as a preemptively cast spell.
Not that I'm disappointed with the spell - it's still vastly improved over its original incarnation. I just hope that it's intended to last the full 30 minutes. I'd happily pay an increased spell slot cost if that's what it takes.

My understanding (maybe it’s wrong!) is that the duration has more to do with making sure the spel runs as it should than being something you can “store” for when you need it. The spells is intended to work until it can’t. If you cast it wound-free it’ll fade on the first pulse.
In other words, a 30 minute duration absolutely ensures that it sticks around long enough to heal you for the X-Y rounds your skill permits.

This is not the behavior I am observing in the Test instance. After doing some more testing this morning I came up with these results:
30 mana, no wounds, lout corpse: 4 minutes 13 seconds
50 mana, no wounds, lout corpse: 3 minutes 2 seconds
100 mana, no wounds, lout corpse: 1 minute 10 seconds
JHALIASCLERIC helped me confirm I wasn't alone in seeing these results and he's the one who provided me with the 100 mana data point. We were consistently getting the same results for each mana value, with small variations that I contribute to server latency and human reaction time.
My new theory is that the more mana you put into the spell the shorter its effective duration is. Also worth noting that it shows the 30 minute duration under PERC regardless of amount of mana used.
My hope for the spell is that it's meant to function like it has built-in Adaptive Curing. Cast and forget. If you get wounded, the spell 'wakes up' and heals what it can, then goes dormant assuming it has left over power. If this is NOT the intention, I would like to request that it be considered. As I said in my previous post, I would happily pay an increase slot cost for the spell itself, or for our own version of an Adaptive Curing metaspell.
