That would be my second choice, though you have a bias because it's the closest to serving an eldritch horror. Telekinesis can't invoke the power of PAIN and through that insanity though. I envision giant blood golems which were once our enemies and have been manipulated through constant pain to become monstrous rage-filled abominations who only wish to end their existance while punching as many things' chests through their hearts as possible on the way.
If precise enough, we can set off the nervous systems in our enemies. Total pain.
I may be slightly biased in that I think telekenisis is the coolest power, but that's because blood magic needs blood to work. Telekenisis just needs anything.
Setting off nerves just isn't as good as torturing our enemies to death in the messiest way possible. And it doesn't have slitting our wrists and causing the blood to rapidly undergo nuclear decay.
Why? Debate is probably the most essential element of a good suggestion game. The fact that we're arguing means we care about the choice and are relating our view on the topic before coming to a decision together. Overall it leads to better suggestions and a better game experience.

By the way blood magic means all blood, everywhere all the time. You can see it anywhere, control it everywhere... and at last level you get complete control over it.

As in I've been reading too many debates over which fictional entity would win in a fight and thus I spout off debate-style points whenever I'm arguing anything and yeah. ANYHOW, let's stop discussing me and get back to the game!

3b. What happens when we meet a bloodless construct? Or an object that is too heavy to lift with our mind?

Okay my buddy agreed, since your interested the blood magic and summoning are completely seperat. Yes we can summon blood but we don't have to.

So we'er going to be helping Billy? Okay, by the way what does the mage look like?

Usual magey type - tall, sallow, thin, lanky, sneering.

What rock have you been under for the past century?
People don't wear those any more, and if you rotters say magey again I'll leave you in Tartarus with Chronos.
