-Kalin, you do have a point. Necromage is like the best perk for a Vampire character as it increases all magic effects toward undead. And vampire characters are considered undead so every magic effect that helps your character has its power increased, and every magic effect used againest undead has its power increased as well. Necromage has proven to be a OP perk for vampires, but it still seems pointless to join the Vampires over one perk, although Werewolf gives a mage more close range capabilities in addition to freshness. I play a Vampire Lord on my Lvl 81 Nord Duel-Wielder/Archer. Although those Vampire Rings that you get, like the one that gives 100 magicka and some magicka regen is helpful. And a mage generally wants to stay out of close-range combat, but then you get the horrible vampire weaknesses that you basically have to counter. (I hate traveling at night
