Yes to the Eitr-on-Hud, no to the Barrier HP remaining. It seems like a QoL change, but in reality it's a huge unbalancing of Magic, which is already incredibly OP, and one of the only skill checks of Magic is your ability to manage your barrier and weigh the risk/reward of when you should recast. If you have a HUD element telling you, well, as far as I'm concerned, you've removed the only element of Magic that requires even a whisper of foresight.

The skeletons are extremely strong, but like any tool, you have to use them right.

however the true stand-out Blood magic spell is the barrier.

Speaking of the Barrier, did you know you can cast the barrier on your skeletons?

Did you also know that Eitr Regenerates over time, quite rapidly? So the Skeleton's high Eitr cost is meaningless, you summon them during downtime, protect them in combat with barrier, and use the Staff of Frost to crowd control so they don't get overwhelmed.

The skeletons are not designed to win you the game, they're designed to put out a little DPS and serve as a distraction in combat. THey accomplish this, extremely well I might add.

50+ level skill is quite a lot to grind, isn't it? While every other weapon in the game can be used directly from zero level of respective skill.

So can blood magic.
