Simply put a bloodmage can heal his wound with the same magic that wounds him. a Progressive healing spell will over time cure even the wound he tooks but even then its relative to the size of its energy pool. A bloodmage will rarely if not never be a catalyser at the same time mainly because he wont need to use his own energy and wound himself to spellcast, bloodmage who discover themselves as catalysers simply stop relying on bloodmagic at all.

Take note that a progressive regeneration spell cost way less to cast then an instant healing cure. Spell potency is also not always linked to the amount of mana spent. As a mather of fact a healer bloodmage always is wounded somewhere altrought in the progress of healing, Anastasia Hasiko is an exemple of such successfull bloodmage as she has to keep a powerfull regeneration spell active on herself at all time not to die from wounds when casting magic. You have to understand by definition that the wound is only as large as the relative cost of energy a spell would cost to cast in relation to the caster energy pool. For instance an Echnina bloodmage would barely be scratched from using a average healing spell let alone a full regeneration effect.

As you might have figured most blood mage live quite a masochistic existance.
