Blood Magic is a keystone passive skill that allows the character to spend life instead of mana to use skills. It also sets maximum mana to zero.
Skills that reserve mana will reserve life instead. The cost of skills is calculated normally, so reduced mana cost or reduced mana reservation modifiers will reduce the amount of life used. It is not possible to commit suicide through Blood Magic.
Eldritch Battery will not give you back your mana, it will merely remove your energy shield. Mana regeneration will have no effect on a character with Blood Magic.
