Effects and formulas#

  • Transforms the caster into a vampire with −25 fire resistance, school-scaled 15 stamina-regeneration points and 3 mana-regeneration points.
  • The shared spell-leech path restores school-scaled 20% of the lesser of damage dealt and the victim’s remaining nonnegative hits. Other weapon leech uses the weapon combat path.
  • Automatically attempts to cure poison below Lethal on poison ticks. Successfully casting a spell whose reagent list includes Garlic causes random 17–23 physical damage to the vampire.
  • Recasting removes the transformation; death or body/hue mismatch also ends it.

Notes#

  • Magery–Necromancy school conflict can reduce the effects identified as school-scaled. Listed mana and cast delay are base values; equipment and casting rules modify actual costs and timing.
