We've actually got a PC, who's infected by an artificial vampire virus.
He isn't very happy about it, and we still try to get the antidote.

The magic rating is the max. So your vampire mage/Phys Ad has got full
control of it's powers, even if he's quite "dead" (blood deficiency).
That is because the essence lost isn't permanent.
You just have to drink for recharging. :-)

But I say, if the vampire is held at a low essence level for
a very long time (say in a dungeon), then he should be weak in
magic, too. So his magic rating is dropped.
Then he has feeded, he'll be ok again, quite instantly. ;->>
