This thought came to mind while watching The Ancient Magus' Bride Season 2. The students needed to complete a magic ritual, and to do that, they had to give some of their blood. Now, if you’ve watched anime with magic in them or even special powers, you may have seen something like this before.

The most noticeable thing that comes to mind is the summoning jutsu from Naruto. They usually bite their thumb to create blood so they can use their summoning jutsu. Now today, I want to talk more about cutting ones finger because let’s be honest, bitting your thumb till the point that it bleeds sounds fucking hard and painful.

Nah, that shit look like it hurts.

Now it’s cool that with your blood you can use crazy powers and also summon amazing magical creatures, but like, who wants to cut their fingers every goddamn time they do it. Maybe I’m just a bitch, but I hate pain. I wouldn’t even want to do it one time, let alone every time I have to conduct a magic spell or summon a monster. Yeah, after a while you might start getting used to it, but how long is that while? So it’s a no go for me. My fingers are too soft and precious to be cutting them once a day. The only thing on my fingers that I need to be cutting are my nails.

Would you cut your finger to cast magic or summon a creature? Do you think you’d get used to cutting your fingers after a while? Do you think it would hurt like hell to bite your thumb until it bleeds? Tell us in the comments.
