When I began taking assassin missions from the brotherhood, I needed a stealthy and superior approach to a situation that would require silence. I also wish to instil fear in those who would witness the death of one I had slain. By forceing the blood to exit the body, makeing their body, explode, as you say, it is a very silent killing manover. Also it is practically untraceable, seeing as no outside force actually impacted the body, it would be impossible to trace any weapon or elemental power, thus not linking the Brotherhood with any assassination. However, when I use this tactic openly in battle, I use it to instil fear in other combatants, as it is, disturbing, as you call it. I also, as the Blood Summoner, have a reputation to uphold.
