Drain Vitality is a dragon shout introduced in the Dawnguard plug-in that drains stamina, magicka, and health from an enemy. Dragons added by Dawnguard, including the new Revered and Legendary variants, have the ability to use this shout. Their version of this shout drains 10 stamina, magicka and health per second.

Bugs

• Learning Drain Vitality before learning all three words of Marked for Death may cause Marked for Death to become glitched so no newer words may be learned.
  • This bug is fixed by version 1.1 of the Unofficial Dawnguard Patch.
• Learning a word of Marked for Death after having installed Dawnguard causes a glitched shout to appear in the Shouts menu. It is named Drain Vitality, but has all three words of Marked for Death. The recharge is 12,12,12 and the bugged description says "Drains x points of Health per second for 20 seconds. Drains x points of Magicka per second for 20 seconds. Drains x points of stamina per second for 20 seconds." (Note: grey text is normally cut off; different UI mods may show more or less of the description.) Using the shout causes the effect listed - although no words are actually shouted by the character. NPCs do not become hostile. ^?
  • To fix this bug open the console and type in the following command: player.removeshout xx018244 for the 1 point version or player.removeshout xx0181b8 for the 2 point version. Also see Form ID for more information on the xx.
  • A way to fix either bug above is to perform the following steps:

1. Find a save in which you have not learned any words of Marked for Death and have not started the Dawnguard questline.
2. Delete/uninstall Dawnguard.
3. Load up the save and get all three words for Marked for Death.
4. Reinstall/re-download Dawnguard.

• The word Lah (Magicka) may not be learned when viewed. ^?
  • If the bug occurs upon learning the second word of Marked for Death, even if the Dawnguard quest has not been started and no Drain Vitality words have been learned yet, the workaround is to use a save with no Marked for Death words learned and go learn Drain Vitality. In most cases only the first word of Drain Vitality is needed; then no bugs occurred when learning any or all words of Marked for Death. ^{[verification needed — see talk page]}
