I agree with the other posts that state blood is a critical element in spells. But I also believe a hexenbiest can't just submit her blood to any spell and it will work. Adalind needed her own blood to bind Hank to her. If it was simply a matter of hexenbiest blood, then Wu wouldn't have been eating carpet and nails. He'd have been enamored of Adalind, just like Hank.
In the case of Sean's kiss, it wasn't Catherine's blood that broke the bond between Sean and Juliette. It was Nick's blood. Nick's blood bound Juliette back to him just like she was bound to him before.
If we're to believe Grimm, blood oaths are serious business. Yet where was there a blood oath between Nick and Renard? They did not share their own blood to signify a pact to trust one another. Adalind officiated the ritual and used her own blood instead.
There's a lot more at stake for Adalind than whether Renard is declared innocent or Nick gets reinstated back to the force free and clear. Both men mean something in her life. I think she changed the ritual because she knew neither man would hold to his word.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
