Blood damage gems

Use and limit

The blood percentage only increases blood damage already present. It does not convert a purely physical weapon into a blood weapon. Circle gems fit compatible firearms.

Physical gems also increase blood damage; specialised gems allow a higher percentage, but another shape may be difficult to obtain.
