According to the Diablo strategy guide by Prima (a good buy by the
way), Blood Spirit reduces a creatures HP by 1/3 or its current HP.
Blood Star reduces targets HP by 1/3 of the casters current magic
level (quite nasty if youre a high level mage). It claims that both
cost some of your HP too, but in my experience by the time you have
these spells, you have so many HP or MP (with a mana shield spell)
that the loss of a few HP doesnt make much diffrence.
