Excerpt from Van Darkholme's 'Contemplations of the Undying'
...the evile of the vampyre gives it powere in many formes. It may take the shape of batte, ratte, or wolfe and prowl the land with as much deadliness as its parodie of living flesh. It wille be unable to give draining touche or to take a mind with alluring gaze in this forme...
...the parasyte maye not tread hallowed earthe.
...and if ye will want to repelle such beastes ye might ring garlands of garliq around the area ye wish untouched. One maye make theme recoile from holie symbole presented with true faithe or to face them with a looking glass. Keep ye a body's distance from the beaste.
...the vampyre may not crosse moving waters and wille need be carried over it in coffin or shipe by minions. Know welle these beasts maye not enter any building without invitation from one who has authorite to give it. Beware ye publique spaces...
...to give a vampyre true death ye may trappe it under gaze of Lorde Amaunator, ye may submerge it whole of bodie and hearte under moving waters until it does dissolve, or if ye find it in rest or torpor to drive wooden stake through its heart. With the last ye wille need burn its remains, moving not the stake, or else behead the beaste and stuff its mouthe with blessed items....
