psi vampires and feeding
i feel like a lot of things about feeding as a psi vampire are misinterpreted or not spoken about, so here’s a few things i’ve figured out/researched:
once you feed from a person for the first time instead of just passively taking in energy, you WILL crave energy a lot more. your body has basically taken in more energy than it’s used to and it’s kick-started everything. it can also trigger energetic changes which will require more energy than you needed before
once you feed, you’ll also be more likely to tell different energy sources from each other easier. obviously you’ll need to practice this and it will vary from vamp to vamp, but you’ll most likely very quickly notice a difference in people’s energy, as well as crowd energy at the least
there’s many different ways of feeding and you’ll probably have to experiment a bit to discover what works for you. for example, i scoop up people’s energy from their auras and pat it down into my own, while another vampire i know will imagine the person’s energy seeping up into their pores. feeding can be a very individual thing and there’s no set way to do it
you NEED to feed one way or another. it’s not something that you can just shut off, your body literally needs energy. without feeding you’ll feel awful, fatigued, etc. so please don’t just try to stop taking in energy
you can keep “batteries” (charged crystals) to help you refill if you can’t get any energy, but these can’t sustain you for prolonged periods of time
i hope these all helped, there’s a huge gap where there should be info on vampirism due to the whole Scary UwU stigma, and while i can’t help with sang vamps just yet i’m gonna try to round up some info too
