casting spells as vampire kills me.

[braincrab]

Ive been trying to create a sort of dark paladin charechter, a dude whos a vamp but uses his vampiric powers to kill harkon, dragons, etc, but ive run into a rather large roadblock. every time i cast a spell, as a vampire, i die instantly. i can cast spells normally if im not a vampire, and not even tgm stops it from killing me, though it does reduce it (a concentration spell like vampiric drain killed me in about a second rather than instantly) this also seems to affect vampire lord form. what is this, and how can i fix this?

[braincrab]

seems any spell, even those that are supposed to heal, those that cost no magica, and even potion effects kill me instantly aswell.

it appears i have fixed this through my own efforts, for any who also experience this, the issue for me was caused by ether sacrosanct-better vampire or by ace blood magic.

It must have been Ace Blood Magic, one i have not heard of or ever used, but I used Better Vampires in the past and Sacrosanct now and neither has ever had that effect, or any serious problems at all.

After looking at the mod, yes it takes health to use spells, but their is a bug that it affects all spells not just the ones added by the mod, it also does extra damage to vampires, perhaps you didn't have enough health?

There is a patch you can download (on the mod page) that disables the extra damage done to vampire, try using that it might help.

I can confirm - it is “ace blood magik” mod. That wasn’t really obvious
