Blood Magic Spells

Another simple mod that adds two spells for dark/evil/necromancer type characters to use: Bloody Grip and Blood Cloak.

These are basically the Vampiric Grip and Blood Cloak available to Vampire Lords, but you can use these in man/mer forms.

Spell tomes for these vampire-like spells are located in the boss chest of Broken Fang cave.

Requires: Dawnguard (vampiric grip script)

**********************************
Modder Technical Info:

The Grip spell should function just like the Vampire Lord version; you grab the enemy and when he's close enough to you an invisible "cloak" effect drains health from them. So much fun!

The Blood Cloak spell has an eerie red aura effect, and a swarm of bats flies around you - very cool for evil characters or necromancers. It's basically a visible drain-health aura spell.

I put both of these spells under the Alteration tree, instead of Destruction. I feel that Destruction magic is more elemental, earth-bound stuff, while Alteration had "Equilibrium" - the closes thing to blood magic in the game before vampire drain-health destruction spells were added. If your opinion differs, just change the associated school under the relevant "damage effects". Feel free to use these spells, or just make your own based on them for any other mod you wish. Credit is appreciated, of course.

I considered making a "Fear Cloak" spell for necromancer types, using the black shadowy effect from the Ebony Mail, but that would have to be placed in Illusion, so I didn't want to include it in this Blood Magic mod. Maybe that will come later!
