I'd love to see a story where it makes their magic stronger. After all, blood rituals are considered very powerful in magic and in real life, too -- blood oaths, etc. I've found one story like that so far, about Excalibur being forged using "tainted" (aka menstrual) blood, rather than "clean" blood from a vein, hence its power and geasa.
Your review made me curious, so I read the first chapter, available online. I assume/hope it gets better? Because what I read was a thicket of clichés with zero plot movement.
