# Maleficium: Vampires, Magic & More!
Welcome to Maleficium! This mod adds magic and vampires into Minecraft, allowing players to hone their magical abilities or become a creature of the night. The choice is yours!
## Supporting the project
I know that it's a big ask, but if you like the mod and want to support it, please consider [supporting me on Patreon](https://patreon.com/mitlit). This will help me continue to work on this mod and other projects in the future. If you can't support me financially, please consider sharing the mod with your friends. Thanks for playing my mod!
## Fabric Support
Creating a proper/full fabric port is on my to-do list but as of now I have tested and it is possible to run the mod on fabric via the [Kilt](https://modrinth.com/mod/kilt) project.
## Main Features
Witchcraft - Dominate your world by learning spells, rituals, and more!
### Witchcraft
*Dominate your world by learning spells, rituals, and more!*
Witchcraft has been added to the mod and the grimoires, etc but I haven't written about it here yet. I have written the vampirism and in-game documentation sections though.
Vampirism - Become a creature of the night and feast on the blood of your enemies!
## Vampirism
*Become a creature of the night and feast on the blood of your enemies!*
### Abilities
#### Bloodsucking

As a vampire, you now feast on blood to survive. Failing to do so will lead you to either death or desiccation. The amount of blood a mob has is calculated based on the amount of health it has with Villagers being the most **nutritious**.
#### Compulsion

A perk of being a vampire is that you can compell mobs to do your bidding. Currently, you can tell almost any mob to follow you and even instruct villagers to offer you lower prices on trades.
#### Fast Travel

As a vampire, you are able to move at incredible speeds leaving nothing but a black trail in your wake. Please be aware that this ability uses up some of your blood/hunger.
#### Enhanced Senses

By closing your eyes and utilising your enhanced sense of smell and hearing, you can locate nearby mobs and players along with their species.
#### Feed Blood

By feeding your blood to other players, they can be turned into vampires too or gain a temporary regen boost. To turn into a vampire, players need to die with the **vampire blood effect** and then drink blood.
