Vampire (animal)

'Vampire' refers to a particular practice carried out by Living Magi in order to extend their lifespan at the expense of those around them. Aversarians consider the practice perfectly legal, though there are some regulations limiting a practitioner's depredations.

Regardless of how it is viewed in general, the kind of unsanctioned, predatory vampirism practised by my target makes enemy_vampire_var fair game to hunt down without fear of backlash. Indeed, the locals are more likely to be grateful than anything else - enemy_vampire_var has left a trail of dead villagers in enemy_vampire_var mad lust for blood and immortality, and has been a perpetual headache for some time - perhaps even decades.

I approach the vampire's lair, lair, and ready my medium range weapon. Though unlikely to be physically formidable, my opponent certainly wields powerful Living Magic and will not go down easily. I can glimpse and hear activity within, so I know that enemy_vampire_var is inside, hopefully unaware of the fight that is about to ensue.
