There's more; the ability to heal, by laying on of hands--what if it runs both ways? One could take energy from a person as well. All goes off without a hitch as long as one doesn't do too much taking and no giving. But, if you have a surplus of taken lifeforce, your own body's essence will atrophy, as happens if you take steroids and your body stops producing its own hormones. In the case of excessive vampirism, your body stops caring about living. You fade from life, pale and cold, and begin to dwell in the shadows.



And yes, it is transmitted by blood, but it isn't a disease--it's the proliferation of a symbiotic
microorganism.
