Vampirism

Slowly degenerating into a ghoulish creature of the night

Transmission & Vectors

Dark Magic and vampiric draining

Causes

Extreme lifeforce erosion

Symptoms

Pointy ears (if they naturally have pointy ears then they simply become more pronounced), blackening of the hands up to the forearm, fangs, and heightened sensitivity to silver and sunlight. The skin becomes a ghastly pallor and fingers grow long and thin until they resemble spider legs.

Treatment

Ritual cleansing and repairing whatever fragments of lifeforce are left . If the damage is bad enough they may need to undergo a soul transplant

Prognosis

If they go untreated their lifeforce will dissapear entirely

Prevention

Staying away from Dark Magic and vampires

Like Witcher Rot only much faster
