[id: A digital drawing of a humanoid character from the hips up dressed in high waisted purple shorts and a green sport's bra against a blue rectangular background that contains a horse skull in the upper left corner and horse shoes in the lower right corner.

The character has medium brown skin, small pointed ears, short purple hair that falls over one eye, purple claws claws, and blue eyes. The character has a curvy figure and is posed resting one hand on their hip and the other against their thigh, with their lone arrow tipped tail curving behind them as they grin at the viewer. /end id]

So maxims about magic in the Grave Gold setting:

Magic is a bunch of bullshit.

The decision to evoke magic is a decision to manipulate or undermine the natural order to achieve a goal.

One cannot evoke magic without sufficient confidence.

Magic is shaped by belief.

What is the strength of Mankind's belief compared to that of every beast, bird, bush, and small invisible thing that lives upon the world?

In matters of contradicting beliefs, the side with more conviction and numbers wins.

All these statements are true and do not contradict: X god created the sun. Y goddess created the sun. Z deity is the sun. The sun is a giant ball of burning gas very far away older than all known gods and peoples.

Magic is aware and has its own opinions.

Magic is the flow of power generated by movement and the processes of life. Where there is more life, there is more magic. Where there is more motion, there is more magic.

Things that are dead are not alive and therefore cannot be killed.

Primarily this occurs via drinking fluids from living beings. Typically either biting prey and drinking blood or tearing the breath from the prey's lungs. Both can be fatal to the prey.

Milk is also a fluid regularly in vampire diets. Fresh milk is also a valuable source of lifeforce energy. Especially the fresher it is.

Vampires can also consume the flesh of living prey for sustenance. Regularly consuming flesh tends to lead to weight gain in vampires as meat is more calorie dense than blood and breath.

While vampires primarily feed from fauna, they are more than capable of feeding from flora tho many vampires comment that plant-based lifeforce is less nutritious than animal-based lifeforce to them.

Coconut milk and flesh, fruit juices, nectar, sap, and raw fruit are consumed by vampires.

The closest ya can get to killing a vampire would be things like: Burning to ash and throwing the ashes in a river to disperse and make it hard for the vampire to come back together or having it be eaten and digested by another magical creature. Both break down the vampires' body so much it can take centuries for them to pull themselves back together.

It's possible that a skilled necromancer can deanimate a dead vampire with enough prep time. But technically that's not killing it, it's as dead as it was before it got deanimated.
