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.

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

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.
