Contracting Vampirism[edit]
You must let a Vampire attack you with their drain life spell. There is a 10% chance you will be infected with Sanguinare Vampiris. Initially, this will just reduce the Dragonborn's health by 25 points. Starting at Sunrise after you have contracted the disease, you will get a message that you feel weakened by the sunrise. You can get a similar message at sunset where you are informed of a strange thirst. You have 3 days to cure the disease before it progresses toward Vampirism.
