There's a rare substance called Titan's Blood. It is extremely powerful and sometimes causes leaks between our realms.

Titan's Blood is a highly potent magical substance originating from the circulatory system of a Titan. It can be used as fuel or as a power source for magical devices that require a large or continuous supply of magic in order to work, such as creating leaks between realms and thus being able to be utilized in a portal, or acting as a power source for a potion, spell or ritual that would require one.

As of the fall of the Titan race, with only one Titan remaining in present times, their blood has become an extremely scarce and highly coveted resource. The Boiling Isles, formed from the remains of a particular Titan, once harbored an abundance of its blood still present within its veins, especially within the inner cave systems of the Knee. Due to this, the substance was excessively mined and thus almost entirely depleted, with the majority of the remaining blood eventually drying up. In modern times, these abandoned mines are incredibly dangerous to venture within, as The Titan's decaying veins are able to form into Fool's Blood, an unstable substance identical to Titan blood that can crack and collapse entire veins. Also located within the Knee was a legendary large pool of blood known as Eclipse Lake. However, all of its blood is depleted in modern times.[1]

When mixed with the magical algae of the Demon Realm's Boiling Sea, Titan blood can be used to form Time Pools, which are temporary rifts in time that can be used to travel to the past.[2]

Titan's Blood is a viscous liquid substance. It is is cerulean blue in color. The blood in the vial shown buried in the Human Realm appears to have small air bubbles in it.

Background[]

Titan's Blood, as its name suggests, is a liquid substance hailing from the circulatory system of a Titan. As a part of Titan, the substance emanated strong magic; according to the diary of Philip Wittebane, when the blood mixed with the water, it demonstrated interdimensional properties and spontaneously created portals to the Human Realm that caused leaks spilling from the Demon Realm to the Human Realm and vice versa.[3][1] Although mixing with water is the most common example, it has been shown that Titan's blood on its own is perfectly capable of creating portals between realms, even magically moving on its own to create a portal when smashed onto part of a stone archway.[4] While many items would be transported across realms, the appearance of a human was apparently a rarity.[1]

After the Titan's death and the Boiling Isles' formation, Titan's Blood remained inside the desiccated veins of the Titan's carcass. Because of its magic potency, the substance was considered one of the most powerful sources of magic on the Isles, and as such, ancient witches set up mine sites across the Titan to harvest its veins for the resource. However, these veins eventually began producing "Fool's Blood", a substance identical to Titan's Blood that indicates a decaying vein, and which would collapse both itself and parts of the vein it was located in upon touch. The bustling search for Titan's Blood gradually exhausted as the resource fell short in supply, eventually causing the mining of it to cease.[1]

Through unknown means, the Portal door was constructed using Titan's Blood as fuel, with blood contained within its key,[1] allowing one to travel between both the Human and Demon Realms. There was virtually no limit on how much it can be used, as despite numerous uses by Eda over the decades, the key still contained a full supply of Titan's blood before it was broken.[1] Titan's Blood is also capable of creating a portal to the In Between Realm, a strange dimension somewhere between realms and spaces.[5]

When combined with the algae of the Boiling Seas, coagulated Titan's Blood is capable of forming a phenomena known as "Time Pools"; invisible portals in the ground that can allow a person to travel to different points in time. These portals appear throughout the Boiling Isles, but are said to never appear in the same place twice. Time Pools appear to have an effect on the natural flora surrounding them, as wrinkling oak trees near a Time Pool were found to be locked in time and prevented from aging and becoming "wrinkly". The Time Pools disappear as soon as tides come in and cover them, preventing any repeated use of a specific Time Pool. Due to these brief periods of existence, and their invisible nature, few people believe that Time Pools are real. However, Lilith and Luz would eventually discover their existence, and utilized them to travel to the Deadwardian Era to meet Philip Wittebane.[2]

As a powerful source of magic, Titan's Blood can be used to power devices and rituals that require more magic than a Witch can normally give them, such as Lilith's device to locate Time Pools[2] or Eda's ritual to evacuate Luz and Hunter from Belos' mind.[6]

Hooty and Tinella Nosa took a blood sample from King in an attempt to figure out what class of demon he falls under.[5] While the results were inconclusive at the time, King would later learn he is a young Titan.[7] It is unknown for sure due to his age if King's blood has the exact same properties as that from a fully-grown Titan, though he did briefly question if his blood was needed in freeing the Collector.[8]

Luz discovers that Glyphs specifically are powered by the Titan itself, and being within range of Titan's Blood, even if that distance is hundreds of feet away, can allow a person to perform glyph magic in the human realm. However, the further a person gets from the blood, the weaker and less stable the glyph spells become, until eventually they don't produce an effect beyond destroying themselves; getting even further away will only cause partial self-destruction such as burning away some lines, until eventually the glyphs will become completely inert.[4]
