Text(5th+errata):Target creature gets +4/-4 until end of turn. If this
would reduce that creature's toughness to less than 1, it reduces it to 1
instead. [Oracle 1999/09/03]
The +4/-4 is applied when the spell resolves and will not lower the
toughness below 1. So, if a 1/1 creature has Blood Lust cast on it, it
becomes a 5/1 creature. Later spells to modify toughness modify from
this base, so a Giant Growth would make it an 8/4 creature.
[WotC Rules Team 1995/02/09]
The amount that Blood Lust lowers toughness is calculated when it resolves
and is not recalculated later. If it resolves on a creature that
is currently 3/3, then it will change to be a +4/-2 effect. It will
not change to be anything else later. See Rule T.8.3.
