Vampirism
Vampirism is the condition by which one is turned from a mortal into a Vampire. It is a years-long process that is technically terminal, although the afflicted does rise again.
Transmission & Vectors
Transmitted through the consumption of Vampire blood. If too much or too little is ingested, the subject will die, rather than become a Vampire. In the case of too little, the condition won't take hold, and blood's poisonous properties will overpower the conversion. In the case of too much, it's a simple matter of overdose.
Causes
No one is entirely certain as to the cause, as no one knows where the original curse came from.
Symptoms
Sensitivity to light, allergic reaction to silver and blessed objects, desire to consume blood, loss of impulse control.
Treatment
None
Prognosis
Death and rebirth.
Sequela
After the condition eventually leads to Vampilia and death, rising again as a Vampire is the prolonged effect.
Prevention
Don't ingest Vampire blood.
