You can get quite a lot of energy from a bull or a horse. You don't need to sacrifice people.And sacrificing animals isn't evil, under most moral systems.

Edit: But the arguments have swayed me. Maybe this is a bad idea. Maybe only the first energy point needs to be HP (that's -30% according to Thaumatology). Maybe it's not needed at all. I'm removing the Missile spells, so wizards will need some other way to affect people at bowshot distance.
