| A vial of roiling blood that pulses with the beat of an unseen heart. Transforms the user into a fearsome vampire - a creature that straddles the border between life and undeath. They can drink the lifeblood of the living to heal themselves, and even turn those they slay stealthily into vampiric thralls, but do not heal in the presence of monsters. At great effort, they may scatter into a swarm of bats - either to flee or to assail their enemies. |
