He drags the knife along the outside of his forearm, a shallow cut to draw just enough blood.
"Blood magic mate. Now mine may not be poison but it does get the job done," a wink as he lets the drops fall along the table.
"Primal power in blood, tracking spell like this needs some serious firepower behind it if we're going to find our next target." His fingers spread out, eyes rolling back as he starts to speak in a quiet and harsh-sounding language.
The blood drops flare red and then orange before burning small holes into the map. John shakes out a cigarette and reaches for his drink. "There now. Right as rain."
