News Files - Vampires Magic

Vampires, while created through the dark magic of the Darkhold, are not inherently magical themselves. A few have been shown to wield magical abilities beyond those of a standard vampire.

They have either come from the possession of some kind of mystically endowed artefact external to themselves (like The Darkhold itself), or have made a pact with some sort of demonic, mystical, old one, fallen, etc. patron who gives them their magic, or were homo magi before they were vampires. In nearly all cases, the magic is powered by blood and or death.

The more powerful the magic being used, the more blood (blood rites) or souls (necromancy) are required (or, in many cases, both).

Remember, any magical spell or artefact that would protect them from some of the effects of their curse (like sunlight, if they can even find a spell or artefact to do so) will always require some kind of cost, a terrible one that will make someone take notice in the number of people dying or disappearing, to fuel that spells power and effect.
