I think you should allow a limited number of Blood Stones, since they give +1 E, that could be needed for some races, like Abysya ...
The Abysyan Warlock with random E can forge the Stone, then the E.Boots and so he can forge a Dwarven Hammer ...

This is only an example.
Even more these rules will cripple all Blood Nations, removing them some of the best items/strategies, and giving to other Nations the advantage of 75% magic site frequency.

I thought about that and then I thought... why? There is no reason really... Earth boots and empowerment (or staff of elemental mastery) should be fine.

Having limited blood stones as opposed to none is an unneccessary complication.

As for Blood nations I am not sympathetic.

Frankly I would gladly play Abysia under these rules. Even without contracts Blood Nations have some of the best summons going, and they have excellent national troops which will be much more relevant in a game like this (hopefully).

Also Abysia does use gems for a lot of stuff too (forging and summons) so its not like other nations have some kind of advantage if there are more magic sites
