AmongstTheFallen For most people that I have come across, Vampirism is more a game to them and they know very little about the concept other than what hollywood has told them. They have dreams of the Vampiric lifestyle being like what they read in Anne Rice or in the newer Underworld movies. That being said, I am in no way trying to discredit your friend and the fact that you mention psychic vampirism at least says you've looked into Vampirism a little more than the average person. (Really though, if your on here you obviously did some research into the matter and are actually interested in the idea.)
My personal take on the matter is that as far as psychic vampirism goes is that you cannot be "turned". But you can do relatively the same thing. I honestly see Psychic Vampires are split into two different catagories, one the one hand you have those who honestly crave and need to feed on the energies of others. On the other hand, you have the group who have learned the ability to feed off others energies. The second group feeds out of a pure desire to do so and for the feeling of empowerment they get, but they don't suffer the craving of those who need the energy.
I don't really remember some of the sources that I've found over the years and honestly, I think many of them are probably non-existant at this point but if you search I'm sure you can probably find a thorough explanation of the process for "feeding". I'm thoroughly convinced that several of them do work as i've attempted the process myself in the past. I think you can probably come up with your own process if you'd like and those personalized techniques/rituals/whatever you want to call it do tend to work out a little better than those that someone else has made, at least from personal experience.
Just my opinion on the matter, feel free to debate/add to/tell me I'm wrong and the like. I can definitely add to this at a later point as I spent a great deal of time searching into the Vampire myths/legends/lifestyle/and of course the true concepts of Vampirism as they exist outside their hollywood grandeur.
Ahh got to love it when some one other then me knows what there talking about. Thank you.
@shadow emperor: It should be know that Psi-Vampires lack the ability to turn others. The ability to feed as AmongstTheFallen mentioned can be learnt, however the need for the feeding isn't there(not to say that one can't get addicted to the extra power and then be faced with an addictive need to feed).
Psi-vamps are actually empath's who have a mental imbalance. The could be depressed or overly happy or even always angry what ever the case may be there is something they ether have to much of or to little of. The empath's will then subconscious "feed" from other people to gain a balance. These people will normally exhibit signs of mental distress if they have not fed in the last few days.
Normal people have the ability to correct there neural chemistry on there own, as a natural process. psi-vamps lack this ability and thus need to feed off of others emotions to correct there own emotional stability.
This is where the term psi-vampire comes into effect. as a psi-vamp lacks the ability to correct there neural chemistry a sanguine vampire lacks the ability to transfer nutrients through there own blood. they also lack the ability to absorb and brake down solid foods. how ever after a feeding they are able to both digest standard food and move the nutrition gained from that food through out there bodies.
The last type of vampire is the magic kind. These vampires lack the ability to use process magic on there own. A normal caster has the ability to draw magic from there surroundings. through food,water and the air. A magic vampire in order to use magic must feed off of another being that has the ability to process magic.
If any one has any questions on this or any other subject feel free to pm me. Diz
