Mantle of Woe BM

Sun Damage M points

This effect is given by becoming a vampire. It causes the victim damage when exposed to sunlight. The degree of damage depends on the time of day and the weather. 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. When there is cloud cover, the damage is halved. It has no effect at all when indoors, even if there are windows.

The necromancy-related Bloodmoon artifact Mantle of Woe also includes this 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.
