@intransitivelie other way around :) The vampire drank the dragon's blood to gain the dragon's power. If you're unfamiliar with TES, it's worth noting that dragons are a form of deity - immortal, magically super-powerful, but still physical. (Vampire are blessed by a different type of major deity). The vampire in this story found a dragon who had grown weak and was trapped under a pile of rubble, or there was no way he would have ever gotten close

And there was something about it being "pure" dragon's blood. Vampires who munch on the Dragonborn (your playable character in Skyrim, who has the "blood of a dragon") don't seem to gain Thu'um (dragon magic) like you have, but the Dborn will still become a vampire.

Anyway, this is now a long diversion from your poll question 😅
