Ash of War: Blood Blade

Blood Blade has you cut yourself to coat the weapon in blood, then fling a blade of blood through the air that causes blood loss. You can fire it several times in a row.

It grants the Blood affinity and works on small and medium swords. Blood scales with Arcane, so this suits bleed builds that want a little reach.
