I went to Arngeir to recieve a typical Misc. Dragon Shout Location and he ended up sending me to Arcwind Point. This location now is location to the new shout, Drain Vitaliy. After I defeated all of the enemies (dragon included) I approached the Word Wall and noticed from afar there was threee words on the wall. As I got closer the other two dissapeared and I recieve my last word for Drain Vitality. This did not finish my Misc. Quest and it gave me a second Drain Vitality shout that was composed of three different words and effect. I did not have to put in sould to unlock it, it just appeared.

The second Drain Vitality says: That it drain 1 point of Health, Magicka, and Stamina for 20 seconds. The cooldown is 7 seconds for all three levels. The words read Kill, Leech, and Suffer, which are the same as Marked for Death. When the shout is used my character says no words. I believe I summon how obtain the Dragons version of this shout. What do I do?

Something similar happened to me...but it was when I received my last word of Soul Tear from Durnehviir. As soon as I received my last word, I suddenly unlocked all three words of Drain Vitality (I had 2 previously) and it added a new Drain Vitality shout that drained 1 point of Health, Magicka, and Stamina for 20 seconds. However, my shout does appear to work. But having two of the same shout and not a legitimate third word to the original Drain Vitality is kind of lame.

This has been happening a bit from what I've heard.

Apparently this also hinders the process of learning Marked for Death words correctly.

I'll be going for that 3rd word for Drain Vitality soon, I'll post back if I get the same issue.

Ok, look forward to seeing what happens Brendson.

Got the 3rd word for Drain Vitality with no problems.

Side notes, I already have 2 words for Marked for Death.

One bug I have seen is that I killed a Dragon at Shearpoint which was already marked cleared, got no soul but the word wall was still playing the chant sound, however no word was glowing or learnt when I walked up to it.

You end up with double shouts. I just that is what I call it. My marked for death shout was completed when I started the testing. Got the Drain Vitality and it said to "Coax both magical and mortal energies from your hapless oppinent." The second shout has the same words as the marked for death but says, "Drains 1 point of health per second for 20 seconds. Drains 1 point of magicka per sec for 20 seconds." Yet the marked for death shout says, "Speak and let your voice herald doom as an opponent's armor and lifeforce are weakened."

Save and re-load. Happened to me also.

So what is the purpose of the second Drain Vitality?

Nope. Nothing.

The thing is the wall is playing the chant, but I already have learnt the word. Here's hoping it doesn't ruin any other word wall.

I've had no problems getting anymore shouts since this Second DV, but my quest from Argneir always leads me to Arcwind even though I've already gotten it. Luckily that "friend" of mine keeps on sending me letters. Hahaha
