I assume you mean blood magic? My roommate implied that there's a pact with a demon, and that it's nearly impossible for Morrigan to like you because she disapproves of most of the choices you need to make to get it, so swap her out for someone else while pursuing the specialization. He says it's super powerful (one of the dudes in the mage origin takes out 4 really strong guys in one spell with it)

I want to do warrior and go reaver specialized with it. the blood splatter mechanic is freaking awesome.

As for Reaver, it is quite fun. The effects it gives you almost add a touch of mage to the regular Warrior, which is nice. They're not outright magic, but they allow you some healing skills and some pleasantly twisted ways to do damage.

I'm gonna probably do Warrior next, though Rogue has certainly caught my eye. I've seen a ton of chests I can't open because I can't pick locks.
