Blood Memory and Bloodline memory are two different meanings of blood rule. Blood Memory allows the user to use the victim's or oneself's blood to get a peek into their memory. In comparison, the Bloodline memory enables the user to use their bloodline or victims' bloodline to peek into their ancestral memory being carried in their bloodline.
Both Blood memory and Bloodline memory meanings of blood rule can be used by users on their own blood/bloodline or their victim's blood/bloodline depending upon their mastery of the meaning. The abilities of both the meanings were related to memories, but they had two different meanings with two different abilities.
These both meanings of the Blood rule seem normal meanings with regular abilities, but actually, they aren't the normal and regular meaning one would think them to be. These two blood rule meanings have the ability to capture a person's consciousness.
A card apprentice who has gained ultimate mastery in Blood Memory can use the blood of this victim to create a replica consciousness of his victim in his mind using all the memories of the victim he gained through the victim's blood. The memories of a person are what make a person who they are, and with a copy of these memories, anyone can create anyone's countless replicas. And the ultimate mastery of Blood memory, meaning of blood rule, allowed a card apprentice to do just that.
A card apprentice who has gained ultimate mastery in Bloodline Memory can access the memories and skills of his ancestors and also pass down his knowledge and skills to this future generation through his blood. And to add a cherry on top, if one of the descendants of the card apprentice were to master the Bloodline Memory, then the said card apprentice can forcefully possess the body of his descendent, that is, if the said card apprentice's soul is still in the river of souls and has not entered the reincarnation cycle.
These witchcraft-like abilities of the Blood Memory and Bloodline Memory meanings of the blóod rule are what set these two meanings apart from the ordinary and common rule meanings. Therefore when I learned that Sarah had comprehended the Bloodline Memory meaning of the Blood rule to completion, I did not know whether to celebrate or be worried.
Sarah had a demigod bloodline. If she has mastered the Bloodline Memory to complete mastery, then it is an excellent thing as with the help of the Bloodline memory, meaning she can access the demigod bloodline in her and gain the memories and the skill of her demigod ancestor. Meaning Sarah's chances of becoming a demigod went up by a massive margin. Therefore I wanted to celebrate Sarah's achievements, but unfortunately, her demigod ancestor was Demigod Redfall.
Demigod Redfall was one of the demigods known for his mastery of blood rule. The chances of him mastering the bloodline memory meaning of blood rule to completion were very high. Seeing how the demigod had fallen not so long ago, he should still be in the river of souls. Making the news of Sarah achieving ultimate mastery in bloodline memory not to a cause of celebration but a cause of worry.
Having realized that I could soon possibly have to face a demigod, the cool of my face drained. Even though demigod Redfall has died for a long time and he has no physical body or his demigod realm, his soul is still a soul which has achieved above 90 percent active soul control. So even in his soul state, Demigod Redfall is not someone I could go toe to toe with.
The only thing keeping me from panicking is that I did not know for sure that Demigod Redfall had mastered the bloodline memory meaning to completion. There are millions and billions of meanings to blood rule. The chances of demigod Redfall not mastering Bloodline memory to completion see pretty good. That is the only part that is keeping me from beginning to freak out. Instead, be sane and level-headed.
"Come on, Wyatt. Tell me, how did you figure out that she had achieved ultimate mastery in Bloodline memory meaning of the blood." While I had my worries, Bloodette had been bugging me to tell her how I could figure it out in a few minutes when she and her incarnation couldn't. Making me regret showing off in front of her.
"Bloodette, that's my secret. I won't share it with you so let me be and move on." No matter how I explained it to Bloodette, she would not listen and kept pestering me to tell her how I could figure out the meaning mastered by Sarah before her. I did not know Bloodette was so competitive. Otherwise, I would not have tried to look cool and instead waited for her answer.
"Bloodette, stop it. It's not polite to prey on others' secrets. If Wyatt wants to share it with you, he will share it with you. So stop pestering him and tell us how to help this girl here." Seeing that Bloodette was bothering me and not taking a hint through my annoyance and words, Cortney stepped in to mediate and convey to Bloodette that she should not force me to compromise my personal and private information.
"Oh, okay, I wouldn't bother him anymore. As for this girl, all I can say is that a third party is influencing her current abnormality. Right now, I am trying to find the origin of this influence. Once I figure that out, then we can think of a way to help his girl." Hearing Cortney, Bloodette decided not to pester me anymore with the same questions.. And according to her, the abnormality shown by Sarah is caused by the influence of a third party meaning the problem is not with Sarah or the meaning she comprehended to completion but something totally unrelated, or that's what I thought.
