Blood Alchemist

Blood Alchemist
The Blood Alchemist is a late hardmode enemy, that, like most other members of the Blood Cult, only spawns if the player lingers near the Altar of Sacrifice near the entrance to the Hellish Dungeon for too long. It will, in a very odd manner when compared to most other enemies, throw potions as an attack to drain HP from the player and then use that stolen HP to perform one of many rituals.

Rituals
The Blood Alchemist has the ability to perform several rituals to attack the player once it has accumulated enough HP by throwing potions (or from life-stealing rituals).

Ritual of Life Drain
The Ritual of Life Drain is the simplest ritual it performs, and the one it uses most often. A large alchemical symbol will appear in the background and, if the player does not escape its area of effect, the ritual will begin to rapidly drain 50 HP from the player every second. Until the ritual ends, which can take anywhere from 10-20 seconds.

Ritual of Blood Plague
The Ritual of Blood Plague will summon a large swarm of small, bloody, bug-like creatures that will chase the player as a cloud of blood-sucking insects. If the player is caught by the swarm, the player will take heavy damage, and will be inflicted with the Blood Plague debuff.

Ritual of Summoning
The Ritual of Summoning involves the Blood Alchemist to summon waves of enemies. It will summon very large numbers of Blood Zombies with their stats multiplied by 40, Dripplers with their stats multiplied by 60, and Blood Crawlers with their stats multiplied by 50.
