Vampire Transformation
Transformation into knightly form. (Useful to dissipate your Awakened Dead before returning to Haven Isle)
Transformation into vampire form. (Put this in a combo, thus, when used it will automatically regenerate.
Thus, when your TiV runs out, you may recast it without waiting for regeneration. This makes for a
perma-vamp.)
Mind Control
Opponents are stunned and remain rooted in place for a short time.

Wolf Call
A vampire wolf appears as a companion. (Wolf creature level is based on character's level, and time of day. The wolf is stronger at night, where it gets BaseValue + 3*Wolf Call level. During the day, the wolf companion will be BaseValue + 2.5 *Wolf Call level. BaseValue is 33% to 40% (roughly) of character level.
Note: The vampire wolf companions level will be compared against it's opponent for determining xp gained. If your wolf is vastly higher in level than it's prey, you'll only get 1 xp per kill. If the levels are roughly equal, you'll get normal xp.
It does not matter which form (knight or vampiress) you summon the wolf companion in. Summoned after 5:20 AM it will a lesser wolf, summoned after 8:20 it will be a greater wolf.
Socketed versus read runes make no difference in the level calculation for the Wolf Companion.
Attributes do not affect the Wolf Companion's level either. Only character level and levels of Wolf Call (however gained).
Example: At level 95 of the CA (with a level 107 Vampiress) the daytime Wolf level is 279, and it is 327 at night. Thus, the level is too high for Platinum play.

Arts Available only in Vampire Form
Blood Bite(Vampire form only)
Sucks life out of an opponent and transfers it to the Vampiress. (Too small to do more than tickle opponents to come to you.)
Master Bite(Vampire form only)
Changes the opponent temporarily into a groveling servant who supports the Vampiress in battle. (And who cannot be attacked by the Vampiress while under the Master Bite effects.)
Claw Jump(Vampire form only)
Predator type jump. Opponents at target location suffer damage and are dazed for a short time. (Good for travel and often used with split.)
Blood Kiss(Vampire form only)
Echo of the Blood God, whose kisses pursue all opponents within range, causing severe damage. (Weakens opponents damage dealt and their resistances. Basically softens up opponents and has a will of it's own. Trigger for Orla/Fads)
Awaken Dead(Vampire form only)
Transforms a body into an allied vampire. (These weaker vampires have a chance to convert opponents to weak vampires with each hit. The Awakened disappear the next time the Vampiress TiKs (Turns into Knight).
Bats: Blood Swarm(Vampire form only)
Battle bats surround the Vampiress and powerfully attack all opponents in range. (Meat Shield type 3)
Bats: Confusion(Vampire form only)
Robust bats circle the Vampiress, attacking opponents within range. They cause little damage, but effectively distract opponents. (Meat Shield type 4.)
Bats: Guard(Vampire form only)
These bats are trained to catch ranged projectiles and even absorb spells with their bodies to protect the Vampiress. (Meat Shield type 5.)
