In celebration of my 500th post here, most of them being nonsense, I’ve decided to reveal my main method of attacking spirits and absorbing them!
Thank you to the O.A.A., because this is a technique of yours perverted and … undead-ified? Whatever the case, here is, IMO, one of the quickest roads to power an aspiring vampire can take- as long as they can defend themselves, that is.
The O.A.A. has a method for attracting the attention of wandering spirits. The gist of it is that you make yourself known to the spirits in the area and provide a means for them to manifest in front of you.
Well, now here is how yours truly uses such a method!
Invite all sorts of astral nasties and enemies who want your head into your defenses. Let them sit there and size them up. I get anywhere from three to forty gathering.
Then, latch onto all of them at once (preferably with astral tendrils) and begin the draining. By “draining”, I mean visualize parts of them being sucked into the tendrils and delivered to you.
Most random spirits will turn on their heels in an attempt to escape you. Using your tether to them, bind them until you set them free and keep draining for as long as you can. Some entities will undoubtedly try to strike back, others will strike you when you lower your defenses, and most will definitely want revenge.
So leave no survivors.
It generally leaves a very full, satisfied feeling in the physical stomach. But take caution when trying to attack spirits, as they have infinite time and are usually very patient. Start feeding on entities one by one before doing this massive group attack, which requires you to be able to defend yourself otherwise they will overrun you in a counterattack.
Dangerous, but extremely effective. Quite a lot of my power comes from devouring entities, and this is a mass vampiric harvest.
So, eternally, good luck and happy hunting,
