Sun Damage M points

This effect is given by becoming a vampire. It causes the victim to be damaged when exposed to sunlight. The degree of damage depends on the time of day. Between 8:00 PM and 6:00 AM, there will be no damage at all. The highest damage occurs around noon to 1:00 PM. It has no effect at all when indoors. (Even if there are windows.)

The necromancy-related Bloodmoon artifact Mantle of Woe is also carrying this effect as an enchantment.

[edit] Notes

• Normally, this is only relevant to you, the player. Other vampires are affected by this as well, but they are invariably found indoors. However, a Command Humanoid spell can be a sneaky way of getting vampires outside to kill them without getting your hands dirty. Possibly more trouble than it's worth, though.
• This is the only negative effect which isn't affected by the Resist Magicka spell effect.
