    I have the skill, see the floating text pop but can't see that anything's happening. Is the skill working? What is it supposed to do? I thought it was a weak man's life drain, but so far...Nothing. Please post your findings, it may be bugged.

    EDIT: Hmmm... It seems it's purpose is to give a proc based mana gain chance per hit, beyond the original mechanics of mana per kill.

    Yeah, its working. Gives quite a bunch of extra mana.

    Vital Siphon indeed works. It only procs from your physical hits.

    On that note, Blood magic seems very powerful. I haven't had to drink once as a Promethean mage on Rogue Difficulty. Monster zoos are a breeze since you never run out of mana by just killing things constantly. The first skills gives 6 mana per kill which is very strong. The negative resistance you receive hasn't affected my hero yet, mostly because I have yet to find something that does righteous damage.
