In-game description

An aberrant sorcery discovered by exiled criminals. Theirs are the sorceries most reviled by the academy.

Wounds the caster with thorns of sin, creating a spiral of bloodthorns. This sorcery can be cast repeatedly, up to three times.

The guilty, their eyes gouged by thorns, lived in eternal darkness. There, they discovered the blood star.

Base damage per hit from the game's attack table (AtkParam_Pc), before your staff's scaling and the target's defenses; stance is the poise damage of the hit. "Per cast" is how many of that projectile one cast fires; how many of them reach one target depends on its size and distance, so no total per cast is given. Status buildup is per hit, from the effect the projectile applies. Hit names are the community's labels for the param rows.

The columns are the Sorcery Scaling number your staff shows in the status screen; each hit is its base damage × that number ÷ 100, before defenses and buffs. Find your staff's number at your stats with the build planner.
