Vampirism

Vampirism is a magical disease and condition that changes the innate biology of those it infects, causing them to be unable to ingest any substance except for blood. They also become monstrously allergic to light and become beacons of necromantic energy, which in turn makes them vulnerable to radiant magics and pure metals such as salt and silver.

Transmission & Vectors

Vampirism is transferred either by the ingestion of vampiric blood or by a vampire injecting their venom into the bloodstream of someone they have bitten. The change occurs in three days in which the victim slowly accumulates all of the attributes of a vampire, becoming capable of smelling blood and unable to eat normal food.

Symptoms

• Sunlight Allergy: Vampires cannot stand in the sunlight for too long as they will begin to burn and singe until dead over long exposure.
• Necromantic Source: Due to their change instilling them with innately necromantic energy, Vampires become vulnerable to Radiant energy and pure metals such as silver and salt.
