My personal headcanon has that extended out to arcanistry even, though I am sure officially the Arcanist's Guild would not be OK with people making up schematics with anything vile like blood or whatev. surely, someone's done it though.
I'm in the boat that says Sympathetic Magic grants anything based in blood most of it's power. Â Got some of it's blood? You got some pull on it you didn't before. Â Power over it. Â Power to maybe ward, or repel, or dozens of other things.
Trick is making it bleed first, of course, but blood is a hell of a tie to have when practicing any school or tradition of magic that can affect a thing that bleeds.
