Plot

BloodSpell is a story of a world where men and women carry magic in their blood, and spilling it can unleash terrible power. Where these "Blooded" hide in fetid slums from the Church of the Angels, commanded by their divine masters to "cleanse" the Blood Magic. Where choices are fraught, alliances rarely safe, and blood is all. A young monk named Jered flees the Church when his own Blood Magic is released. Now he must survive the pursuit of the Church, the gladiatorial pits of the Blooded underground, and the hidden truths of the ancient struggle. The choices he makes will tip the balance of the war between Church and Blooded, and change his world forever.—Hugh Hancock

In Strange Company's 'BloodSpell', beautiful swordswomen battle gigantic robots on a pyrotechnic chess board. A gladiator with an steam-powered iron arm flees an army of wraiths inside a pyramidal treasure room. A giant sorceror and an angel battle atop a cliff overlooking a fantasy city, whilst the heroes flee down a staircase the height of a small mountain. BloodSpell is an epic animated 'punk fantasy' feature film, made on a micro-budget using Machinima (real-time 3D animated 'puppetry') technology by Strange Company, one of the pioneers of the medium.
