Crimson Tide

Crimson Tide (, Kurimuzon Taido; lit. "Ominous Flow of the Deep-Red Sea") is one of the three innate Magic Skills found in all Vampires — "pure", "half", "turned", or otherwise, serving as a representation of their status as creatures of the night. Typically, since it's ingrained into their very DNA, it can be performed without the need for practice, acting as an extension of their being. Out of the three, this one is considered to be the most synonymous, being referred to as  (吸血魔法, Kyūketsu Mahō); due to mechanics involved, it's often incorrectly classified as a Caster Magic.

If one couldn't guess, Crimson Tide allows a Vampire to perform a high-degree of haemokinesis — manipulating voluminous amount of sanguinity at a given time; as the race practically thrives on the substance for survival, it can be rightfully stated to be the true source of their vast and dangerous capabilities. In exchange for consuming large amounts either through a "vampire bite" or this skill — especially from those who are incredibly powerful, they gain a substantial power increase, allowing them to rival even the most powerful of creatures with sheer ease.

Overview
"Blood is the essence of life, that which empowers every sentient organic being. Through consumption, our race grows stronger; through manipulation, we're able to employ it in ways no other blood wielder is capable of doing. To us Vampires, blood means everything. Without it..... we cease to exist."

Trivia

 * Like Pale Blood, which was created by Ash, this was based on the canonical version of, albeit tweaked to the author's preferences; however, said author notes that it's basically a stereotypical version of blood manipulation but amplified to certain degrees to fit the Vampires found in the Heroic Chronicles series, thus isn't wholly original. It's more or less based on the image sources used for this article, Soul Cartel.
