The spells Vampire Drain, Drain Life (VL) and Vampiric Grasp (VL) will now help you level your destruction skill! You can adjust the amount of experience gained per second by entering the console and typing: set VampireDrainExperienceGained to X (x can be any positive integer; 20 is default). The drain spell empties your magicka faster than vanilla because the cost is steep at higher levels, but you hit harder. It is comparable to casting a massive damage spell. At its highest level, drain will steal 300 of their stamina and health and give it to you in 10 seconds BUT the cost will be 300 magicka in those 10 seconds. The drain spell in game is too weak when you level up, so I made it scale with you. I know you see your magicka disappearing fast, but in the heat of a fight do you really want a spell that does 6 hp / second at a cost of 6 magicka when your enemy has 1000 hp? Or would you rather have something that hits hard and fast - yet still maintains balance? I can't justify giving folks 40/sec drain with a cost of 10 magicka per sec. At its strongest it will drain 30 hp and stamina each and every second, but the cost is steep too - 30 magicka per sec. |
