Bloodtoooth Bands are leg-worn bands that utilize the wearer's blood for a variety of effects. Their counterpart is the Bloodtooth Bracer. When both items are worn together, Bloodtooth Bands have additional functionality. They debuted at the August 2021 Duskruin run and are sold in the Bloodbenders shop. They were created by GM Kenstrom and GM Mestys.

Tier 1

Tier 1 Bloodtooth Bands have the Blood Spray ability plus several fluff verb traps. If worn with Bloodtooth Bracers, they also have the Blood Bank special ability.

Blood Spray: An SMR attack to reduce a foe's defenses via WAVE. Cost: 10 HP. Cooldown: 2 minutes.

Blood Bank: Activated via FIDGET. Only available when a Bloodtooth Bracer is also being utilized. Adds an HP regeneration effect for 15 minutes by expending charges gained via RAISE with creature corpses. Magnitude is based on charges stored. Max charges based on total tiers unlocked between Bands and Bracer. Cost: 0 HP. Cooldown: 60 minutes.

Analyze

You analyze the red-veined bands and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
The red-veined bands are a type of leg-worn armor accessory that magically drains some of your blood in exchange for a series of temporary benefits.  The base description can be altered, but should always remain plural and match the unchangeable look description. 

The bands are tier 1 of 4.  This means that they have access to the following verbs: WEAR, REMOVE, WAVE (Blood Spray).  If the wearer bears both the Bloodtooth Bands and a Bloodtooth Bracer, a special ability (Blood Bank) can be activated via RAISE (at a dead creature target that can bleed) to gain charges and FIDGET for an enhancive HP regeneration effect.

You can tell that the bands is as light as it can get.
