The unwholesome practices of the vampire comprise several paths of magic. This one, by far, is the most gruesome as it centers on the mastery of the mystical powers of Blood to transform and reanimate formerly living flesh. Masters of the skill are said to be able to propagate their own foul undead blood in the bodies of others.

Latest revision as of 17:42, 25 September 2024

The unwholesome practices of the vampire comprise several paths of magic. This one, by far, is the most gruesome as it centers on the mastery of the mystical powers of Blood to transform and reanimate formerly living flesh. Masters of the skill are said to be able to propagate their own foul undead blood in the bodies of others.

Although your blood grants you great power, it does not come without significant cost. The less blood you have, the more feral your strength will become, however this also leaves you susceptible to certain dangers.

The following is a list of attributes you will develop the less blood you have:

- Major weakness to fire damage
- Resistance to cold damage
- Resistance to asphyixation damage
- Resistance to poison damage
- Resistance to electric damage
- Less intelligence
- Additional strength

Additionally, you will no longer suffer the effects of less natural healing that applies when you have lost blood. You can read HELP BLOOD for more information.

By poisoning their blood stream, you can make the body slow to cure, extending the time it takes as long as at least one affliction is present within the antipsychotic, euphoriant, or depressant curing tree.

For each tree above that possesses an affliction, the more potent the poison will become. This will only affect pill, poultice, and pipe balance recovery times. Anxieties are not considered within the affliction tree check.

You can view HELP CURE ORDER for information on the various curing trees and HELP AFFLICTION TYPES for information on anxieties.

The earth itself can feed from your blood, allowing you to bring forth the mighty blood pillar. While in the presence of the blood pillar, anyone who receives bleeding will add a small amount of power to the pillar. Once a threshold has been passed, then the pillar will flare and re-afflict all your enemies of the last affliction they cured. They do not need to bleed in order for this effect to happen, any attack that creates bleeding will work.

Be warned that the pillar is not immune to the wrath of your enemies. It can be attacked and destroyed.
