Vampiric Drain is a Vampire Destruction spell in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The Dragonborn can only cast this Novice-level Destruction spell upon being infected with Vampirism. Enemy vampires cast versions of this spell which—at higher levels—drains both magicka and stamina along with health. The spell drains health from an opponent and heals the caster with it. Targets of this spell can contract Sanguinare Vampiris, which leads to Vampirism unless cured within three days. The spell can be equipped to either the left or right hand and dual wielded, but the dual wielding perks will not affect the spell. However, Destruction perks will be active.
