Maleficium: Vampires, Magic & More!

Welcome to the world of Maleficium! This modification offers players the opportunity to transform into vampires with unique abilities, positive effects, and limitations. Please note that the mod is currently in early beta stage, and the developer is actively gathering feedback to improve the final product.
