Sanguine Contagion

Prerequisite(s): 3rd level sanguine sorcerer
Benefit(s): While a being is afflicted by a bleed effect that you had inflicted upon them, they are also affected by Contagion.

Contagion
Whenever a being attempts (and fails) to treat a bleed effect that afflicts a being that is affected by Contagion, they become afflicted by that same bleed effect (as well as any secondary effects that accompany it) as well. For example, let's say that Nikolai the sanguine sorcerer is currently engaged in combat with Talvinor the cavalier and Narissa the oracle. Nikolai casts Sanguine Congregation on Talvinor (while there are three other beings that are afflicted by a bleed effect that Nikolai had inflicted upon them), causing Talvinor to begin to bleed for 4 points of damage each round. During the following round, Nikolai casts Anywhere But Here on himself in order to escape from the battle. With Nikolai gone, Narissa rushes over to Talvinor and retrieves her medical equipment from her bag; she makes a Heal check as she attempts to stop Talvinor from bleeding. However, the result of her Heal check is less than 16, so her attempt fails. As a result of this failure, she becomes affected by the effect of Sanguine Congregation as well (i.e., she begins bleeding for 4 points of damage each round, also she becomes affected by Contagion).
