This is NOT an overhaul
Designed to be compatible with other Vampire Lord mods
NO SKSE or other script extenders are required
Each time Vampire Lord feeds on enemy in close combat, the Life Blood level increases (if you already completed the perk tree)
With non-zero blood level you are able to get access to advanced abilities. Some of them are passive, some requires the consumed blood to cast.
All of the following powers are already implemented (and more are on the way). Any feedback is welcomed.
You can move very fast while levitating [Conditions: non-zero blood level, full health]. Also you will take no fall damage. Once your health is decreased or you spent all your blood, you will move with regular speed and take fall damage again.
You can make thralls in human form [Conditions: non-zero blood level]. When your enemy starts to flee, activate him and select the option "Make Thrall". Thralls can attack or distract your enemies. Thralls will NOT follow you, but you are able to make as many as you want. Works only with non-unique human characters (must be a living creature, you can't make thralls from vampires).
Rush ability [decreases the blood level, Conditions: non-zero blood level]: Works like the Bats spell, but you can select the exact destination. Supports VERY long distances.
Possession [decreases the blood level, Conditions: non-zero blood level]: Cast on your Thrall in the Lord mode. You are able to directly control the mind of your thrall and move him around (Vampire Lord stays in place). Jump or crounch to exit the mode. Thralls are not able to attack in this mode, but they can seduce enemies of the opposite six and make them unequip all their items (weapons will be dropped) - enemy level must be lower than thrall's level. If your thrall is seen by higher-level enemies of any enemy with the same six, the seduction will fail. After seduction the selected thrall will die.
Darkness ability [Conditions: non-zero blood level, dark areas]: Darkness protects you. You take no damage in the dark areas, but with each hit your blood level decreases. However, if you find a place with absolute darkness your blood level will stay in place. You take 100% additional damage in the light. The exit this mode you must call "Dispel Darkness". ANY OBJECT IN THE GAME that provide additional lighting (like fire or torch) will negate the spell effect and player will be vulnerable again

Player can now use the Shadow Shield (the same one that Harkon used in the final battle). The spell will take more blood in the light areas.
1) Nothing can penetrate the shield
2) NPC, creatures and other objects are unable to move through the shield
3) Player is unable to move or attack until the shield is released
Dominance [Conditions: the blood level is higher than the enemy level. Enemy is not unique character]
You are able to dominate the will of your enemies just by looking at them. Your enemy will instantly become your ally. When there are no enemies nearby, the character can start praying to you. You are unable to control remotely such allies (unlike Thralls).
Black Celerity (working title) [/size] allows you to move between the living enemies very fast. The flesh of the weaker human creatures [low health, the race is not animal-like] will be [/size]dissolved by the Darkness, leaving just a skeleton behind. The victim's blood will be instantly absorbed by the Lord, increasing your blood level. [/size]This ability is available only in the Darkness mode[/size]
