The name is immediately an issue to me. Phlebotomist is not a word you would hear in a fantasy campain world. It's very scientific.

"Phlebototurgist" or "Phlebotomancer" would have been a better choices. They are still high-brow, but imply magic rather than science.

At first I thought it would be a healing magical item, but then it became one that increases bleeding.

They're certainly a gruesome pair of gloves. The powers don't strike me as that useful, but I'm sure they have a niche. Must have been gruesome enough for the judges.

I would have liked to see more benefits from touching a bloody victim or even giving them your own blood.

Congrats and good luck in the next round.
