A dark mage!

in this story dark magic is more like blood magic, they use their own blood to power their spellcasting, so they cant use that many spells a day but their general magic is powerful, and to a certain extent, they can take blood from somebody else by biting them and sucking up blood but the ammount of blood they can actually store in their bodies from an outsider is limited so not many dark mages actual bite other people, maybe other dark mages

hence the fangs!they can suck blood and store it in their bodies for a rainy day, some dark mages bite themselves and forgo casting spells one day to cast more spells another day, dark mages are encouraged to use a lot of magic since their own blood regenerates extremely fast due to the magic requiring to use it

the dead wood masks are a trademark of the dark mages, in the past it was used to control them from biting people, so if you saw a person with HUGE snake fangs the towns went into chaos, theiy installed this method for both slowing down dark mages from biting other people and to not cause hysteria, until the day it was discovered normal blood wasnt that efficient anyway and dark mages stopped biting people on the regular, the masks stayed bcus they ended up liking them and now they take pride in their own carvings giving you status in the guilds of dark mages the more beautiful your maks is

im actually thinking on making the actual magic look more red to fit the theme, and keep the dark aurato necromancers only instead
