Or....maybe not.

"(or retains her own Magic attribute, if higher)"


Right, after the transformation. But before the transformation ever happens, your essence has to be reduced, which always causes magic loss. I think what that passage means is that if you're magic would be like 4 after the transformation because you have a higher max with initiation, it's not reduced to 1, it stays at 4. You have to remember, a vampire doesn't have to take all that essence at once, it could happen over the course of days or months or years. The Essence Drain power has nothing to do with the Infection power. It doesn't matter if the vampire who's infecting you steals your essence over the course of months or minutes, your magic is still going to be reduced whenever he takes a bite.

I think that just means that you'd get to keep you're initiate grade enhanced magic, but still with a normal max of 1. Remember, before you ever fall into a transformation coma, you have to lose all your essence first. So you'd still reduce your essence to one, which reduces your max magic to 1 + initiate grade, which wouldn't change after the transformation. So if you were a magic 10 mage with 4 initiations, you'd be a magic 5 mage after becoming a vampire (because before you transformed your magic would be reduced by 5 due to essence loss).

very good point

When you cast a high force "Alleviate Allergy" spell.
