There are 4 levels of vampirism.
Higher levels have high stat boosts and more abilities,
but are hurt by the sun.
Lower levels have some stat boosts and some ablitities,
but aren't hurt by the sun.
Each day you go without feeding,
your level of vampirism rises.
To maintain a low level, find a sleeping NPC.
The feature, "Feed", will appear.
Feeding brings your level of vampirism to 1.
Feeding will not wake up, hurt, or turn the NPC into a vampire.
(It's free and easy.)
If you want to find a permanent cure to vampirism,
ask around in the Mages Guild, etc.
