--Well that's ridiculous. [But also pretty funny, and there is a low laugh from the dhampir. The whole situation is worth laughing at. Here they are, drenched in blood and bleeding, talking about the particulars of what is a vampire. It's ridiculous that's what it is.] The first part, not the concept of blood as an addicting substance. I can actually see how that'd work.

[And why it might invite comparisons to vampirism but not be the real deal in Alucard's eyes. He's sure that the rest can be brushed over though, and his focus shifts to the blood magic as Maria describes it.]

So the use of blood supplements a weapon's ability and acts as a conduit for magic, if I understand the overall gist of it?
